Club Ride Go Long Bike Jersey

This cycling jersey presented a dilemma for two of our seasoned testers: they liked to wear the shirt when they were off their bikes more than when they were in the saddle.  Attribute that impulse to the Go Long’s distinctive styling. The jersey has a cool plaid panel that swoops across the front and back upper section (a pattern that also sneaks in underneath the collar), while the rest of the fitted shirt keeps it subdued with simple black, white, or blue fabric.  Pearl snap buttons and a chest pocket round out the shirt’s western flavor. But hidden within all those sartorial details are a slew of cycling-specific features.  A two-inch micro-mesh panel lines the inner chest and arms for insta-venting, while the proprietary fabric provides the wick-and-evaporate performance that cyclists need.  Underneath the front-snap closure, a full-length zipper closer regulates airflow.  On the flip side of the jersey, a zippered pocket sits at the small of the back—a signature included on almost all cycling jerseys and jackets these days, and the one thing that keeps our more fashion-conscious testers anchored to their bikes, even when they’re far from the singletrack.
