What makes short-sleeve jerseys for cross-country special?

Short-sleeve jerseys for cross-country stand out for their close-fitting, sporty cut, which still leaves enough freedom of movement for technical climbs and descents.

Generous mesh inserts on the back and sides provide cooling during the changing peak efforts typical of cross-country, while moisture-wicking fibres keep you dry even during races lasting several hours.

Another characteristic is more robust seams and materials that withstand occasional contact with branches or a minor crash on the trail better than the thinner fabrics of pure road jerseys.

Tip: If you combine it with a hydration pack, choose a jersey with a back that is as smooth as possible and without large pockets, as these can otherwise press uncomfortably under the pack straps.
