The Armstrong trail in Park City is the climb most riders choose to access a plethora of local downhill rides. It's short enough for an after-work ride, yet a challenging climb that opens the door to a weekend's worth of trails. The Backcountry Armstrong Short-Sleeve Jersey was designed with feedback from our employee riders and constructed in partnership with some of the top designers in the industry, allowing us to create a similarly versatile piece that prioritizes comfort with an extremely smooth feel against your skin.

The Armstrong features a side seam design that takes women's hips into consideration, providing extra space for a comfortable fit—even with your chamois and baggies underneath. Its four-way stretch construction moves with you as you pedal up technical climbs and fly down harrowing descents, while its synthetic fabric wicks away perspiration and dries quickly to keep you comfortable. Side panels increase airflow to keep you comfortable when you're working hard, and the Armstrong has a polygiene treatment to help prevent the buildup of odors. Details like the silicone gripper dots on the rear hem and the integrated sunglass wipe round out the jersey, which is sure to become your new go-to for warm-weather rides.

This shirt has been my go to riding shirt this season. It's a nice fit and lightweight with venting under the arms. I am an athletic build size 4-6 top and ordered the medium so I would have a comfy fit and not a tight fit. Perfect!

The fit of this shirt is awesome! Very soft and form fitting. I bought this to wear during a mountain bike festival in VT and I wasn’t super impressed with its wicking abilities. I bought the grey and it shows sweat like crazy! It wicks sweat away from your body but does not dry quickly at all. I would rather a black option that won’t show sweat as much.

I have yet to wear this on a ride because we just keep getting snow in Utah but just from trying this shirt on I love it! The longer sleeves sold me on this shirt, I love them. The fabric is also super soft. Can't wait to wear this all summer on all my rides.

I was skeptical of the material of this riding top because it doesn’t FEEL tech-y like most of my jerseys. However, it handled 6+ hours of sweaty riding REALLY well, and kept me cool and dry and, honestly, looking good 💁🏼‍♀️ It’s way more flattering than I would’ve expected. I’m a big fan.

I got a chance to use this piece in Virginia while riding on a hotttttt day. I am about 5’4/ athletic build - small waist but broad shoulders with a long torso. The small fit perfectly, but it is a tad more form fitting than some of my other mountain bike jerseys which are kind of boxy (no shape) and flowy. Definitely would still consider it to be in the all-mountain/ trail category. Wasn’t tight across my upper back or hips. Bonus! - the way the breathable panels are tailored along the sides is super flattering. The four way stretch was perfect for an incredibly varied ride with climbing, fast descents and intermittent rock gardens and the little silicone dots along the bottom of the jersey kept it in place.
