Among the jerseys I tested here, it\u2019s the thinnest and most well-vented, so it doesn\u2019t stick to my back as soon as I start sweating like some of the others. The mix of recycled polyester and elastane results in a soft and comfortable jersey that dries quickly.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I tested a size medium jersey and found the jersey provides an airy, loose fit. I\u2019m tall, and the sleeves reach all the way to my elbows so for some, this might end up being more like a three-quarter sleeve jersey. The light color is perfect for sunny days, and the Velocio Ultralight ended up being one of my favorites of the bunch. <\/p>\n<div class=\"singl-5c16eb3880bfc4f32efa5a83e69b5350 singl-content\" id=\"singl-5c16eb3880bfc4f32efa5a83e69b5350\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Five solid colors \u2014 including Slate, tested \u2014 are available for men.

Like the OR jersey, the Flylow is made with a polyester \/ spandex material, and it seems to have a pretty similar weight as well. It\u2019s comfortable and well-constructed, holding its shape after multiple washes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I tested a size medium and found the fit a little challenging. The shoulders are slightly too wide on me, while the overall length lands on the short side. If you\u2019re tall and skinny like me, the Flylow Nash Shirt may not be the right choice.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The jersey is available in three colorways, including another solid color \u2014 Vine \u2014 that looks pretty nice.

Though the fabric is synthetic, it looks and feels cotton-like. That said, it\u2019s not the coolest of the bunch, and it tends to get weighed down by sweat. Fortunately, the \u201cFog\u201d color I tested does a good job reflecting the sun better than darker choices, and it\u2019s quickly become one of my favorites.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here again I tested a size medium jersey, and this one fits me well. Technically it\u2019s not a completely solid-color jersey; there\u2019s a subtle print on the back, as you can see in the photo above.

The size medium provides an excellent fit with sleeves that cover to the wrist and a neck hole that sits just right and doesn\u2019t get stretched out.<\/p>\n<div class=\"singl-c2015f2b21afb2984b88267fc48ca590 singl-content\" id=\"singl-c2015f2b21afb2984b88267fc48ca590\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Finale features Windblock fabric that\u2019s wind- and water-resistant, yet still feels pretty breathable. Unlike the other jerseys here that are mostly polyester, the Rapha Trail Finale uses 90% recycled Nylon for the main body. It\u2019s not a summer jersey by any means, that is unless you\u2019re riding high above treeline. For me, this is a late-fall\/early-winter jersey.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rapha does an impressive job matching colors between their jerseys and shorts, as you can see here. These are the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.singletracks.com\/wp-json\/click\/track\/CYrP1v\/\">Trail Finale shorts<\/a>, and even though they use a slightly different fabric, the finishes look identical for a super pro look.

For starters, it\u2019s 100% merino wool, so it breathes well and does a great job regulating temperature throughout the ride. While light, the jersey is a little thicker and more substantial than others I\u2019ve tested in this category, and that bodes well for long-term durability.<\/p>\n<div class=\"singl-40bdfd05ebd8d2f1a8067a052287d686 singl-content\" id=\"singl-40bdfd05ebd8d2f1a8067a052287d686\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Mission Tee merino wool jersey isn\u2019t quite as soft as the poly-blend jerseys I tested. Though merino wool is known for being soft, it\u2019s still a natural material and can feel a little scratchy compared to engineered fabrics. The Mission Tee is made in the USA, which is reflected in the pricing.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Sizes: S \u2013 XL<\/li>\n<li>Price: $98<\/li>\n<li>Buy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.singletracks.com\/wp-json\/click\/track\/kyI5Ax\/\">from Mission Workshop<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/images.singletracks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/sweet-protection-hunter-wool-jersey.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1170\" height=\"780\" src=\"image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%201170%20780%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/images.singletracks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/sweet-protection-hunter-wool-jersey-1170x780.jpg\" alt class=\"wp-image-725564 lazy\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/images.singletracks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/sweet-protection-hunter-wool-jersey-1170x780.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/images.singletracks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/sweet-protection-hunter-wool-jersey.jpg 750w, https:\/\/images.singletracks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/sweet-protection-hunter-wool-jersey.jpg 375w, https:\/\/images.singletracks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/sweet-protection-hunter-wool-jersey.jpg 768w, https:\/\/images.singletracks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/sweet-protection-hunter-wool-jersey.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/images.singletracks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/sweet-protection-hunter-wool-jersey.jpg 600w, https:\/\/images.singletracks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/sweet-protection-hunter-wool-jersey-2048x1366.jpg 2048w\" data-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1170px) 100vw, 1170px\"><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Leah Barber<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"h-sweet-protection-hunter\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sweet Protection Hunter<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Sweet Protection Hunter jersey is another wool-blend jersey, and I\u2019m a fan.

I\u2019ve been wearing my Hunter jersey regularly since 2021 (five years!) and though it\u2019s wearing thin and some holes are starting to form, it\u2019s still one of my main summer go-tos.<\/p>\n<div class=\"singl-7cf9e360895b1c634b31dec0ec86a572 singl-content\" id=\"singl-7cf9e360895b1c634b31dec0ec86a572\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I had hoped to recommend two other wool-blend, solid-color jerseys that I wear often \u2014 one from Specialized, the other from Artilect \u2014 but it appears both have been discontinued.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Sizes: S \u2013 XL<\/li>\n<li>Price: $100<\/li>\n<li>Buy from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.singletracks.com\/wp-json\/click\/track\/6Sa2Uu\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Competitive Cyclist<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>The news stinks.
