Can’t I just wear a regular road or cycling jersey on the trail?

While there’s definitely some crossover, there are a few reasons to wear a MTB jersey on the trail. Road jerseys are typically a tight fit for aerodynamic performance whereas MTB jerseys are looser fit to accommodate more body movement and protective gear. Our range of MTB jerseys also feature moisture-wicking fabrics that draw sweat away from your skin to keep you feeling fresh on every ride. Compared to road jerseys, MTB jerseys feature extra-strong stitching, tougher fabrics, longer sleeves and reinforced panels to ensure your jersey stands up to tough conditions. Our jerseys are designed to be worn with protective gear which rub and create more wear and tear. Designed for riders who demand both performance and comfort, our range of mountain bike jerseys are ready for any adventure.

Should I get a short sleeve or long sleeve mountain bike jersey?

This is a question that is hotly debated by riders. If you live in a hot and humid climate and have been mountain biking for a while, a short sleeve jersey with great UV protection is something to strongly consider. Those in cooler climates, with sensitive or easily burned skin or who are newer to mountain biking often prefer the extra protection that a long sleeve MTB jersey offers. All the jerseys we carry online are engineered with moisture-wicking, quick-dry fabrics, four-way stretch construction, and ventilation features to ensure comfort and performance on the trail. We also include antimicrobial odour control to keep things nice and fresh. If you ride regularly, there’s a case for including both short and long sleeve jerseys in your kit.

What's the difference between loose fit and race fit jerseys?

Loose fit jerseys offer more comfort and room for protective gear, making them ideal for trail and downhill riding. Race-fit jerseys are more aerodynamic and form-fitting, better suited for cross-country racing. Most mountain bikers prefer the loose fit style for better mobility and comfort during climbs and descents.

Are MTB jerseys worth the investment over regular t-shirts?

Yes, MTB jerseys earn their keep in several ways: moisture-wicking fabrics keep you cooler and drier, longer back panels provide coverage while riding, rear pockets to store essentials, and durable construction withstands trail abuse better than cotton shirts. Plus, you won’t ruin your favourite t-shirt on the trail!

How should MTB jerseys fit for optimal performance?

MTB jerseys should be comfortable without being too loose or restrictive. The back should be long enough to provide coverage when leaning forward, sleeves should allow full arm movement, and there should be enough room to wear protective gear underneath if needed. The jersey shouldn't flap excessively in the wind but shouldn't restrict your riding movements.
