Armstrong is a well-known trail in our hometown of Park City, Utah. It ascends 1500 vertical feet over the course of 4 miles, and is one of the best choices to access higher elevation trails in the area. This makes Armstrong a go-to option for post-work rides and weekend adventures alike, and thus a perfect name for our short-sleeve mountain bike jersey that's equally ready for both. For the Armstrong Short-Sleeve Jersey, we partnered with some of the best designers in the industry and incorporated feedback from our knowledgeable employee riders, allowing us to bring you a comfortable and functional jersey that we gladly stand behind.

With its 4-way stretch construction and non-restrictive fit, the Armstrong Jersey is comfortable enough for all-day wear while providing the mobility needed to muscle your bike up technical climbs and down hair-raising descents. It uses breathable fabrics that wick moisture effectively, keeping you cool and dry when you're sweating it out on a tough ride. Useful features include silicone gripping dots on the interior back hem that prevent the jersey from riding up, as well as an integrated wipe on the lower left hem to keep your eyewear clear. The Armstrong Jersey is available in two striking colorways as well as classic black, and sizes ranging from small to XX-large.

I've had 3 of these jerseys in Large. All 3 of them are different sizes. One is perfect and the other two have been inches too short. Spend your money elsewhere.

This shirt is awesome. It's super comfortable and the material is very soft. It is a bit heavy but it makes it feel more quality to me. I'm 6'2" 180 and the large fits great.

I read all these reviews prior to purchasing. I quite like the shirt, although feel it’s sizing is slightly off. What I don’t particularly like is that although the fabric feels Soft it’s too warm for me and doesn’t breathe well enough to not end up too hot. It also doesn’t dry quickly, just stays moist / wet with sweat longer than other similar shirts. Recommend for spring and fall but not summer.

I've used this for a few dozen rides now and I'm pleased with my purchase. The medium fits me well, 5'10" and 155. The mesh vents work really well and even with wearing a hip bag the fabric has yet to pile up at all. I wish there were a few more color options but that's about it

I'm 6'1" and 190lbs, athletic build. I ordered the black, medium shirt. Material was great, but cut was very odd. Sleeves came down upper arm over half-way, but overall the shirt was very short and barely passed my waist. I'd recommend looking at the Backcountry Mag 7 Jersey instead. Way better fit.

As soon as I opened package and looked at shirt size I knew it was going to be small. 5’10-190ish lb. slight dad bod, usually A large fits Me well enough not to feel or look like a fat guy in little coat. This shirt is SMALL..and short to boot. I actually think the shirt will perform well and looks good, but will need to size up. Just sucks that I have to pay for a return. Wanted to write this because of lack of dad bod reviews... SIZE UP!!!

Personally I like jerseys that look like t-shirts, casual enough to wear off the bike but having some tech benefitsand the Armstrong jersey fits the bill. It's very unassuming until you look closely and see the side ventilation, the longer tail, and feel the stretchy material. It wicks way better than a cotton tee of course, but I have yet to get thoroughly sweaty enough to test it's odor resistance. Fit is true to size (t-shirt sizing) as far as looseness, sleeve length, and body length.. I think the retail price on this is a bit expensive for how simple it is but if you can get a deal, this is a great shirt!

I've used this several times now mostly for Mtn Biking, but I usually find myself wearing it the rest of the day... This jersey/shirt is insanely comfortable and Breathes well. It also doesn't look like a jersey which I personally like!

This thing is great. It’s super functional - Wick’s moisture and breathes really well but it also has a good modern fit. It also doesn’t look super ‘moto’ so you can wear it for other activities.
