Short sleeve bike jersey

— Sharon S. (5/5)

Great for touring.

"I am a tad short waisted and found the Breakaway Mesh fit the best. I tried the Actif but it was too long. The touring jersey had too much fabric. The Breakaway was just right. This is now my go to top for touring."

— Virginia D. (5/5)

My Favorite

"This is my favorite relaxed style of traditional Terry short sleeve shirts. Fits loose without looking dumpy. The fabric has some heft to it. It does breathe since it has mesh panels. Please continue to offer bright colors. They are my favorite."

Love this Top!

"This may be my favorite cycling jersey EVER! It makes me want to ride even if I’m feeling sluggish. I’m not a skinny mini rider, but I ride a LOT! I don’t remember whether my jersey is an XL or a XXL. I’m sure that either one would be fine on my size 14 body. The fabric is breezy but not clingy. Perfect! I’ll seek another pattern to purchase next."

Questions & Answers

The Breakaway Mesh Short Sleeve Bike Jersey suits riders of all levels, ages, and body types who want one all-purpose jersey rather than a narrow niche top. Its relaxed fit works across road, fitness, and everyday riding, and it extends into 1X-3X sizing so a wider range of bodies can find a comfortable fit. If you want a single versatile short sleeve jersey that handles most of your riding without forcing you into a tight race cut, the Breakaway Mesh is built for exactly that.

No. The UV protection in the Breakaway Mesh Short Sleeve Bike Jersey is woven into the fabric itself at UPF 40+, not applied as a topical finish that degrades in the wash. This matters for riders who spend regular time in the sun and don't want protection fading after repeated laundering. The anti-microbial treatment is woven in the same way, so both the sun defense and odor resistance hold up over the working life of the jersey rather than diminishing wash by wash.

Riders who overheat on warm rides tend to appreciate the Breakaway Mesh Short Sleeve Bike Jersey. Beyond a main fabric that wicks moisture and resists odor, it adds mesh side paneling for extra airflow where heat builds most. That combination makes it a strong pick for hot conditions when you still want some arm coverage. If your riding is almost entirely in extreme heat and you'd rather skip sleeves altogether, a sleeveless option like the Actif Sleeveless Top may serve you better.

The Breakaway Mesh Short Sleeve Bike Jersey has a relaxed fit and is also available in extended sizes 1X-3X. This reflects Terry's focus on fitting women's bodies across a real range rather than a single athletic cut. The relaxed shape gives easy, non-constricting coverage that works for riders of varying body types and comfort levels. If you prefer a close, aerodynamic cut that hugs the torso, you'll want a more fitted jersey instead, but for comfortable all-around wear the Breakaway Mesh is forgiving and accommodating.

The Breakaway Mesh Short Sleeve Bike Jersey has two open rear pockets, enough to carry basic ride essentials like a phone, keys, and a snack. For most everyday and fitness rides that's plenty. If you routinely carry more gear, layers, and supplies for long or multi-day outings, you'll feel the limit here. Riders who need maximum carrying capacity for touring should look at the Touring Bike Jersey, which is built with storage as a priority. For regular riding, the Breakaway Mesh's two pockets cover the essentials.

The Breakaway Mesh Short Sleeve Bike Jersey is built around a relaxed, all-purpose fit, so it's less ideal if your needs pull toward a specialty. If you want a close, race-oriented cut with higher compression for fast group or competitive riding, the Competizione Bike Jersey is the better fit. If you need more pocket capacity for loaded touring, the Touring Bike Jersey carries more. And if you're facing cooler conditions needing full arm coverage, a long sleeve option like the Soleil Long Sleeve Bike Top will serve you better.

The Breakaway Mesh Short Sleeve Bike Jersey is a relaxed-fit, feature-rich jersey designed to perform across all types of riding, not a race-specific top. It prioritizes comfortable, non-constricting coverage with mesh ventilation and woven-in UPF 40+ protection. A fitted race jersey like the Competizione Bike Jersey instead uses a high-compression, aerodynamic cut aimed at fast, competitive riding. If you value everyday comfort and versatility over an aggressive cut, the Breakaway Mesh fits; if you want a snug performance silhouette, the Competizione is the direction to go.

Yes, the Breakaway Mesh Short Sleeve Bike Jersey is an approachable first jersey for newer riders. Its relaxed fit doesn't demand the body confidence a tight race cut can, and it's available in extended 1X-3X sizing. You still get real cycling features like moisture wicking, mesh ventilation, two rear pockets, and woven-in UPF 40+ protection, so you learn what you want from a jersey without feeling exposed or overdressed. For riders easing into cycling apparel who want comfort and coverage, it's a comfortable, unintimidating place to start.
