Cycling is a sport that, for the most part, values tradition.
Â
Perhaps one of the most traditional things in cycling is the classic short sleeve, full-zipper three-pocket jersey. This basic cycling jersey design is about a century old now, and it stuck around for that long for a reason, being that it works well for the intended purpose: riding medium to long distances on a bicycle.
Â
But it’s 2023, and technical sports fabrics have come a long way. We can experiment with new ideas. In a world where we have highly breathable fabrics, do we still need a full zipper? Maybe, but maybe not always. Why not make a super-svelte cycling garment that does away from another potential point of friction and irritation (and yes if you care about aero: air resistance), the zipper.
Â
We made our Montu Peak zipless jersey from a premium and highly breathable four-way stretch fabric.
Â
✅ Zipless construction for an aerodynamic and athletic fit
Â
✅ Contours to your body for a comfortable fit on and off the bike
Â
✅ The fabric wicks moisture away from your body for superior cooling characteristics in warm conditions
Â
✅ Three large rear storage pockets with side reflective trim
Â
✅ Slim collar for better cooling and comfort in hot weather
Â
✅ Elbow-length sleeve length for a more comfortable fit on the bike

Great jersey if you know you will not overheat or you ride on a track/velodrome where aero is important and you would never unzip a jersey. The cut is good with a low collar and longer sleeves. The material could be slightly lighter/more breathable and sleeves could have a longer cuff or unfinished cuff, but those are nits at this price point. Nice work, Montu!

Thank you for your feedback, Joshua! We now make the Peak (green x gold) jersey in a lighter and more breathable dual-fabric construction as well as raw finish sleeves.

Good fit, very comfortable, extremely light and breathable. The fabric on the back of the jersey sags a fair bit when there are tools/phone/food in the pockets. Despite this, the jersey doesn’t pull on the front of the neck or feel uncomfortable at all, though it will slide to one side or the other if the weight isn’t distributed evenly. Simple issue to solve and one that isn’t uncommon among other jerseys I’ve used.

Great zippless jersey. Fabric and cut are very nice – stretchy, breathable and supple. For all but the hottest days, this jersey is in the heavy rotation. Chapeau, Montu.
More colors, please!
