Review on ๐Ÿšด Men's Short Sleeve Cycling Jersey: Club Ride Apparel New West Biking Shirt for Maximum Performance by Nick Garrett

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Great looking jersey but hot for east coast summer rides

Love the color and style of this jersey and it's great that I can wear it to the office (business casual) with khaki and take less time to change clothing at the end of the day to switch to driving. It fits well and feels great in the office. I am not enthusiastic about the comfort when mountain biking. I wore this jersey in June, July and August in typical Pennsylvania summer weather; low to mid 80's temperatures and high humidity. I wouldn't say the shirt is hot but it doesn't feel like it's even breathing at all so it sweats through in minutes and doesn't dry for 45 minutes even in an air conditioned car on the way home. . I ride with a hip pack rather than a full hydration pack so my back isn't covered. The only air flow I feel is through the front due to the button closure. Small vents under the armpits don't seem to do anything. I don't think I can wear this tank top in the summer because it wicks more sweat than any t shirt or tech tee I've had and feels so wet. wet and sticks to my skin. Looking forward to cooler fall weather so I can wear it again. I think the combination of heat and humidity here on the east coast outperforms the wicking properties of jersey. I'm sure it will be a great shirt in the west where the air is drier. In contrast, I love the Club Ride Flannel that I have for winter rides! This piece is warm and breathable so you don't overheat or get wet on your winter rides. They're also easy to carry off the bike, although too casual to wear to the office before a ride.
