The Alps 8 V2 long sleeve jersey combines advanced fabrics with cellulose fibre construction for optimum performance in moisture-wicking, weight, UV protection, flex and durability, and is even bio-degradable.

The cellulose fibre component (manila Hemp) is super light yet durable, and produces no fluff or cotton dust, making it the perfect option for riders with allergies or sensitive skin, it delivers exceptional moisture-wicking properties allowing it to absorb excess moisture from the skin quickly, it adjusts to moisture and temperature, keeping riders cooler for longer, and the weaving method used combines to effectively protect against 97 per cent of UV rays.

Equipped with mesh ventilation inserts on the underarm for optimal ventilation, this jersey is an athletic cut with a dropped tail for greater coverage in the riding position and an ergonomic collar design to minimise irritation. The four-way stretch fabric features a quick-drying treatment for comfort and improved anti-bacterial performance.
