Fit Comes First
Fit is the foundation of a great jersey. It should feel like a second skin, enhancing your movement, not restricting it. Race fit jerseys are cut close to the body to reduce drag and support performance, while relaxed or club fit options provide more comfort for longer or social rides. Look for jerseys that are longer in the back and shorter in the front this cut is designed specifically for the cycling posture. If the fit is right, you won’t be adjusting it mid-ride.
Fabrics That Work With You
Good materials matter. Breathable fabrics like lightweight recycled polyester blends help regulate your temperature by moving sweat away from your skin. In the summer, mesh panels like the ones in our summer essentials help high sweat areas such as the underarms and improve ventilation. On colder days, you’ll want thermal panels or long sleeve versions that insulate without trapping moisture. A jersey that handles changing conditions well lets you focus on your ride, not your clothing.
Details That Make a Difference
Back pockets aren’t just an extra they’re essential. You’ll need at least three, ideally with reinforced stitching so they don’t sag under the weight of snacks, tools, or a phone. A small zip pocket for keys or cards can add peace of mind. Zippers should move smoothly and be easy to operate with one hand. Full length zips are the most versatile, giving you full control over airflow during tough efforts or changing weather.
Stay Put Construction
Silicone grippers on the waist and sleeves keep your jersey in place, even when you're out of the saddle or in the drops. This may seem minor, but a jersey that rides up can be distracting and uncomfortable. Well placed grippers mean you don’t have to think about your gear during a ride it simply works.
Visibility and Design
Reflective strips or logos can improve your visibility on early morning or dusk rides. Look for these details in areas that move, like the arms or lower back, as motion helps catch a driver’s eye. As for design, pick one you like. Whether it’s bold colours or minimalist style, wearing something you feel good in can change how you ride. Confidence starts with comfort and expression.
More Than Just Looks
The best jerseys are built for your ride style and conditions. If you’re racing, prioritise aerodynamic cuts and compression fabrics. For touring or long rides, consider breathability, storage, and comfort. Our jerseys include sun protection features, with UPF rated fabrics that help reduce UV exposure. A thoughtful design accounts for your whole experience fit, function, and freedom.
A great jersey should disappear on the bike. It should support your effort, provide balance and motion to regulate your temperature, and give you space to carry what you need. You’ll know it’s the right one when you stop thinking about it and focus entirely on the road ahead, were bias but we defiantly know ours are up to the job.
