Best Mountainbike long sleeve jerseys

Long-sleeve jerseys for XC mountain biking

Generous mesh inserts on the back still provide cooling, even when your arms are already covered.

For riders who want to manage without an additional jacket in the forest at single-digit temperatures, the long-sleeve jersey is a lighter alternative that is less likely to cause overheating on technical climbs than a full jacket.

Because forest sections are often much cooler than open terrain, the long-sleeve jersey is particularly suitable for routes that frequently alternate between forest and clearings, where the temperature can differ noticeably.

Tip: A long-sleeve jersey is particularly suitable for temperatures between 5 and 15 °C – below that, you usually also need a gilet or jacket in the shady forest.
