My 4 Favorite Women’s Mountain Bike Jerseys – Tried & Tested!
To be honest, I didn’t pay much attention to mountain bike jerseys when I first started riding. I usually just wore whatever athletic top I had lying around—function over fashion, right? But over time, I realized that a good MTB jersey actually does make a difference. Breathability, fit, and a bit of style all add up, especially when the jersey is designed specifically for women mountain bikers. Now I’ve got a few go-to favorites that I wear on repeat.
If you’re looking to upgrade your riding kit, I’ve tested a bunch of women’s mountain bike jerseys and rounded up the ones I love most in this post.
