Description

Everyday Performance. Exceptional Value.

The Essentials Men’s Short Sleeve Cycling Jersey delivers the comfort, storage and breathability riders need for everyday miles, without the premium price tag. Lightweight, soft-touch and high-wicking, it helps keep you cool and dry when the temperature rises, while UPF 50 fabric adds extra protection on sunny rides.

A short front zip allows quick ventilation on the move, while three rear pockets and two easy-access side pockets provide plenty of space for ride essentials. The slim but not overly tight fit works well with lycra shorts or more casual riding kit, making it a versatile choice for commutes, fitness rides and weekend spins.

Very light weight ideal for those hot,hot days

Very light weight ideal for those hot,hot days. I had to go down a size to get the right fit. Material is a bit fragile, don’t expect it to stand up to much abuse.

It's a little too big and a tad loose at the bottom, but my wife really likes the look of it

Quality

This jersey is well made and true to size. Probably only to be used in hot weather as it is very thin. I chose the bright yellow so I would be seen out on the road.
