Long sleeve road cycling jersey, perfect for the off-season
Perfect for temperate conditions, the long sleeve jersey is the go-to top for most of the cycling year. Unlike the
short sleeve jersey , the protective features offered by a long sleeve jersey make your autumn and spring rides a more pleasurable experience. Choose from a wide range and combination of colours to match your bike or to reflect your preferences. From the wide range of men’s and women’s jerseys on stock from the biggest brands, such as Castelli, Mavic or Sportful, you can customise your look.
Choose the best long sleeve jersey for your style, goals and budget
The first criteria to consider is the size. You should choose a long sleeve jersey that corresponds perfectly with your morphology. Avoid clothing that is too loose, to prevent the “sail” effect in the wind, or too tight that will reduce your freedom of movement. Waist grippers keep the jersey in place preventing it from riding up as you change your position in the saddle. The perfect long sleeve jersey should offer excellent freedom of movement, especially in the shoulders. To help you, a size guide can be found in the description of all products. When choosing, remember that you might wear a base layer under the jersey, and/or further layers on top.
The different properties found in a long sleeve jersey
You cannot have failed to notice that brands are constantly developing their clothing and almost every day they bring new technologies and features to the market, especially in
winter cycling clothing. In cooler weather or during easier recovery rides, a long sleeve jersey will provide effective thermal protection to keep your body warm. Some products in the range also provide protection from wind and rain allowing you to keep cycling whatever the weather. For added comfort, many jerseys feature mesh inserts in the armpits to improve breathability for optimal heat and moisture wicking especially when
climbing or during intensive training rides. A fully integral zip will allow you to regulate your temperature and zipped pockets will let you safely stow away your gels, bars, and rain jackets. The reflective elements increase your visibility and allow you to be seen easily by other road users.
