Men's Long Sleeve Cycling Jerseys

Thermal vs lightweight: which long sleeve do you need?

It depends on the season. A thermal long sleeve jersey has a brushed or fleece-backed fabric that traps warmth for cold-weather riding. Ideal for winter road and gravel through the cooler months.

A lightweight long sleeve is about coverage without heat: breathable fabric that shades your arms from UV on hot days while wicking sweat. Many riders own one of each, or pick based on when they ride most.

Long sleeve jerseys for summer sun protection

A common misconception is that long sleeves are winter-only.

A lightweight, breathable long sleeve can ride cooler than bare arms in harsh sun, because the fabric blocks UV and wicks sweat — useful for long Australian summer rides where sun exposure adds up over hours. Look for a summer-weight fabric rather than a thermal one.

Fit and layering

Road and gravel long sleeve jerseys run closer to the body than MTB jerseys for an efficient, aero-leaning fit, though gravel cuts tend to be a touch more relaxed. In cold weather a long sleeve jersey layers over a base layer; in milder conditions it works on its own. If you're between sizes, come try fit in our Heidelberg, Hallam or Hoppers Crossing stores.
