Bike shirt instead of road jersey
A bike shirt usually has no front zip and often no rear pockets, because off-road a backpack or hip pack provides the storage space. The looser cut leaves room for back and elbow protectors. The material should wick sweat outwards and not tear straight away in a fall.
ION comes from water sports, which shows in the colours and patterns of the jerseys.
Tip: Off-road, a long-sleeve jersey protects you from scratches even in summer. On trails with a lot of undergrowth, the longer version is worthwhile.
