The 10 Best Mountain Bike Jerseys of 2023
By: Colin Edwards: Bike Buyer | June 06, 2023
You don’t need a mountain bike specific jersey to have fun riding. Just like you don’t need a smartphone or whatever other gadget. But there’s no denying that having a good mountain bike jersey in your riding kit makes a whole world of difference on the trail. Casual shirts just aren’t designed for the rigors of ripping around the woods on two wheels. They don’t fit well when you’re stretched out over the bike, the hems and sleeves ride up, and they don’t do well when subjected to mud, sweat, and assorted trail debris, either. A good mountain bike jersey will fit well, on and off the bike, won’t get too stinky after a ride, and will protect your torso and arms from trailside branches.
New This Year:
For 2023, the bike apparel assortment has been amped up with a splash of color. We welcome new brands like Rapha while reintroduce favorites like Fasthouse. The selection of men's mountain bike jerseys remains lightweight and breathable, featuring short-sleeve, long-sleeve, and 3/4-sleeve options to suit every rider's style. These jerseys utilize cutting-edge materials, such as innovative wool blends, to achieve the ideal combination of comfort, breathability, and odor resistance. With an array of fits and cuts available, there's a perfect jersey for every rider and body type. So ditch that old cotton t-shirt and get yourself a new bike jersey, your riding partners will thank you.
evo Short-Sleeve
Let's not blow things out of proportion — the evo Short-Sleeve Bike Jersey is just a mountain bike jersey. There are no loud graphics and it's not going to stop you from casing that gap. But if tasteful neutrals are your jam and staying cool and dry thanks to sweat-wicking polyester mesh sounds like something you can get down with, then we think you'll dig it. You can even stash your car key or credit card in the included zippered stash pocket.

| $49.95 | 100% Polyester Mesh | Tech Tee |
