Troy Lee Designs Skyline jersey


Troy Lee’s Skyline is one of those jerseys that you pull on and it feels instantly good. The slouchy fit isn’t baggy on the bike and there’s no weight or drag to it. For those who are interested in material provenance, the fabric is Bluesign certified. It’s lightweight and keeps you cool, and the open-mesh back panel allows heat to escape even faster. Taller riders will appreciate the extra-long body and sleeves – sleeves that also stay in place when pushed up (yes, it’s a small detail, but very annoying when it doesn’t work). There’s also a side pocket with lens wipe. The finish quality isn’t as high as on some jerseys here, suggesting that you’re paying a bit of a premium because TLD is a fashionable brand, but that doesn’t stop us from wanting to wear the Skyline very much.

Price $90
