As the terrain rushes by, there's always going to be close scrapes with overhanging branches, prickly bushes tugging at your jersey and the odd crash or two. But with the Women's Defend Long Sleeve Cycling Jersey, you have a durable mountain bike top that resists such assaults from the trails via built-in abrasion-resistant zones. While you're enjoying the thrill of your ride and creating a sweat, the TruDri technology keeps you dry. This fabric design moves sweat quickly off the body to leave you dry even in warmer weather and during intense riding sessions. Mesh panels are also deployed to give you a boost to ventilation. Lastly, the Defend is cut for mountain biking. The fit is kept loose but slim allowing you plenty of mobility when maneuvering your bike. The drop tail provides extended coverage across the lower back and sleeves allow you to wear pads - the ideal fit for riding hard but great for those more mellow rides too.
