FAQs

What is TruDri® fabric?

TruDri® is a specialized fabric technology designed to move sweat away from the body to keep you dry and comfortable during physical activity.

Can I wear this jersey for casual cycling?

While the jersey is comfortable, its design is optimized for performance mountain biking. For casual rides, you might find the fit and features more suited to athletic endeavors.

How should I wash my Defend Trail Jersey?

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle, and line dry. Avoid bleach, ironing, and dry cleaning to maintain the fabric's integrity and performance.

Is the fit suitable for all body types?

The jersey features a relaxed fit designed to accommodate protective gear. This generally offers a comfortable fit for various body types, but individual preferences for tightness may vary.

What does 'HPS' mean in the specs?

HPS stands for 'High Point Shoulder,' which is a measurement taken from the shoulder seam at the highest point down the front of the garment to the hem.

Are the recycled fabrics as durable as virgin materials?

Yes, the recycled fabrics used in the main body are engineered to meet the same performance and durability standards as virgin materials.

Troubleshooting

Jersey feels damp after a ride.

Ensure the TruDri® fabric is functioning correctly. Excessive sweat may saturate the fabric; ensure proper drying after washing. If the issue persists, the fabric's wicking properties might be diminished due to residue from detergents or fabric softeners. Try a wash with a specialized sports detergent.

Sleeve panels show signs of wear.

The Cordura® sleeve panels are designed for abrasion resistance, but extreme or repeated friction can still cause wear. Clean the area and inspect for any tears. Minor scuffs are normal wear and tear from trail riding.

Jersey feels restrictive with pads.

The jersey is designed for a relaxed fit, but ensure your elbow guards or body armor are not excessively bulky. Adjust the position of the pads for optimal comfort and fit within the jersey's sleeves and body.

Pros and Cons

  • Comfortable fit accommodates protective gear like elbow pads.
  • Made with a significant portion of recycled materials.
  • Lightweight and breathable for warm weather conditions.

Cons

  • Relaxed fit might be too loose for riders preferring a tighter, race-cut style.
  • Primarily designed for mountain biking; may not suit other cycling disciplines.
  • Colorfastness may vary with frequent washing and sun exposure.
  • Requires specific care instructions to maintain fabric integrity.
  • Features are geared towards performance, lacking casual embellishments.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Fox Defend Trail Jersey requires no specific setup. It is ready to wear out of the package.

Compatibility: This jersey is designed for compatibility with standard mountain bike protective gear, including elbow guards and body armor, thanks to its relaxed fit. It pairs well with various mountain bike shorts and pants.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle. It is recommended to wash dark colors separately to prevent color bleeding.
  • Drying: Line dry the jersey. Avoid using a machine dryer, which can damage the fabric and affect its performance characteristics.
  • Bleaching/Ironing: Do not use bleach or iron the jersey, as these can degrade the material and its technical properties.
  • Dry Cleaning: This garment should not be dry cleaned.
