The Best You Can Get

Nalini - Mens

Marla says: From the Italian manufacturer of cycling apparel for many of the world’s top cycling teams, this is one of the few companies still doing the design and assembly in Italy and their attention to quality is top-notch. With this jersey, you’ll feel like a pro on the bike, even if you don’t ride like one.

Lightweight 100% Polyester interlocking knit material - feels remarkably light on your skin, almost like it's not there
Exceptional wicking properties to pull sweat away from the skin for maximum cooling
Either full or partial 14 cm front zip for variable ventilation

DeMarchi - Sport Contour Evolution

Marla says: DeMarchi’s clever Contour Body-Framing System, which runs down the back, is an inelastic, laser-cut strip designed to conform to the spine so the shirt won’t sag when the pockets are full. It also allows the front and sides to stretch and bend while the rear of the jersey stays stable. In turn, you won’t tense your torso to support the contents of your pockets.

This material transfers moisture outstandingly and is roomy
The Dry3 Next microfiber feels soft and supple, giving this jersey a cool, wispy feel

Swobo - Blasphemy

Marla says: This jersey from the beloved Swobo brand is for you guys that don’t want that “me too!” look. A crack on American obesity, Swobo calls the snug fit a “European Cut”. This ironic jersey makes a statement. For example, it is made in a sweat-shop-free factory in San Diego (not China), and is constructed from polyester, not nylon, so it won’t get crunchy after a year of riding the way other synthetics do.

Made with extra humor: Swobo labels the insides of the triple back pockets with the words (from left to right) "beer, bait, and fuel"
Polypro racing shirt from a company diligently committed to organic and natural materials
Cut for aerodynamic performance

Sugoi - Shelby Jersey

Marla says: This is an ideal choice for cooler weather riding. The smart and bright design, great construction, and comfortable fit and feel of the Shelby Jersey will make any ride a pleasure.

Comfortable fit with warm, wicking Finotherm fabric helps ward off chill
Snazzy full zipper design and superior construction for temperature regulation
Three deep back pockets

Campagnolo - Retro Wool Cycling Jersey

Marla says: Show off your Campy pride in classic Italian fashion with this retro wool-blend cycling jersey. Made with 100% Australian wool, it is detailed with flat lock stitching to create a sleek look and eliminate chafing. Comfortably stretchy to achieve an aerodynamic next-to-body fit and reduce drag.

Offset seam placement reduces abrasion and enhances comfort
Fancy Italian flag on left sleeve
Three rear button pockets

You will be happy with any of these

Oakley Factory - Jersey

Marla says: Suit up in this highly engineered freeride jersey before heading out to battle. This unique combat-quality shirt features full-length sleeves and padded articulated elbows.

Designed to be worn over elbow pads, the Factory Bike Jersey's sleeves give your arms plenty of movement for huge drops and launching airs
Dri-release fabric feels soft and wicks moisture away from your core
Specially treated fabric ensures no one else in the pub knows you were out there railing berms

Sugoi Wallaroo - Merino Wool Cycling Shirt

Marla says: The snazzy Wallaroo cycling top is not exactly a jersey, but you can wear it by itself. And you’ll find yourself wearing it over and over. It is made of 100% merino wool, which means that the material used to produce the shirt is thin, soft, and feels a lot like cashmere without bulking up.

Effective wicking action carries moisture away from your body
Sleek fit and design
Wearable for all four seasons

Kona - The Catch

Marla says: This all-merino-wool jersey comes from the quirky Canadian bike guys at Kona, long distinguished for making stylish wool pieces with classic lines. This jersey is elegantly designed and subdued with darker, stealthy colors.

A front half zip and a zippered back pocket
All the benefits that merino offers: comfort, breathability, and a knack for always being soft

Primal Wear - Rock Jersey

Marla says: Primal Wear’s rock line offers a change of scenery from the team logos and a chance for you to show your "rock & roll" colors. The jerseys are smartly designed, and will live up to the expectation of any serious cyclist. And beyond the graphics, the Prosensor fabric does a nice job of wicking away perspiration, yet is heavy enough that it will treat you right on cooler days as well.

Pastes some of the biggest names in music in bright sublimated colors
The Prosensor Advanced Moisture Transfer fabric is comfortable and versatile

Pearl Izumi - Quest Cycling Jersey

Marla says: Hot days on the pavement are no sweat for this Pearl classic that covers the entire back in wicking mesh fabric. Definite value for money, the Quest jersey has all the features you need, solid construction and it looks very cool as well.
