FAQs

What does the Global Recycled Standard certification mean?

This certification ensures that the recycled materials used in the jersey have been verified as recycled and that the production process meets environmental and social criteria. It confirms the product's commitment to sustainability.

How do I determine the right size?

Refer to the brand's specific size chart, typically available on their website or product packaging. Consider your chest, waist, and hip measurements. Cycling jerseys are often designed for a snug, performance fit.

Can I wear this jersey in cold weather?

This jersey is optimized for moderate to warm conditions due to its ventilation features. For cold weather, it is best used as a base layer or mid-layer under a more insulated jacket or vest.

Is the orange color highly visible for safety?

Bright colors like orange are generally considered more visible on the road, which can enhance safety. However, always combine visible clothing with appropriate lighting and riding practices.

How durable are the recycled materials?

The recycled materials used are designed to be durable for cycling applications, meeting industry standards. Following the recommended care instructions will help maintain their integrity and performance.

What kind of items can I fit in the rear pockets?

The three large rear pockets can typically hold items such as energy gels, bars, a small pump, tire levers, a spare tube, and a lightweight windbreaker or jersey. The zipped pocket is suitable for a smartphone, keys, or cash.

Troubleshooting

Zipper gets stuck

Gently try to move the zipper pull up and down. Apply a small amount of lubricant (like graphite from a pencil) to the zipper teeth and try again. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.

Fabric feels rough after washing

Ensure you are using a mild detergent and have avoided fabric softeners. Wash again on a gentle cycle with cold water and no additives. Air dry.

Pockets seem too loose

The pockets are designed to be easily accessible while riding. For smaller items, use the secure zipped pocket. Ensure items are placed fully within the pockets to prevent them from falling out during vigorous activity.
