O’Neal Stormrider jersey


This is a classic baggy MTB jersey, with a boxy cut that gives complete ease of movement simply because there’s lots of room in there. There are days when you won’t want all that excess material flapping around, but for more casual riding it’s an easy one to throw on, and light enough for warmer days. A slimmer cut to the arms ensures the O’Neal jersey doesn’t slide about as you ride. Contrasting material is used on the forearms, which gives the appearance of a three-quarter-sleeve top with a baselayer underneath. But this turns out to be not just about the looks, because the stretchy fabric means the sleeves can be pushed up easily and stay in place.With a bonus feature of a large lens wipe, this is a deceptively simple jersey that scores well on riding comfort.

Price $67
