SHORT SLEEVE
Women's Short Sleeve MTB Jerseys - Fox Riding Kit
This category brings together women's short sleeve mountain bike jerseys from Fox, made for trail, enduro, downhill and everyday cross-country riding in warm weather. You will find loose-fit trail jerseys, lighter race-oriented cuts and relaxed styles that work equally well on the bike and at the trailhead. All short sleeve women's jerseys listed here are available at Foxracing.si.
What you will find in this category
Short sleeve jerseys are the core layer of any warm-weather MTB kit. They cover the shoulders and upper arms, move sweat away from the skin and sit comfortably under a hydration pack or body armour.
- Trail and all-mountain jerseys - slightly looser cut, hard-wearing fabric, made to be worn with knee pads and a pack.
- Enduro and downhill jerseys - longer body, reinforced seams and fabrics that cope with shuttle laps and repeated washing.
- Lightweight warm-weather jerseys - thin, fast-drying knits with high breathability for summer rides and long climbs.
- Casual-cut riding tops - relaxed styling that still uses technical fabric, for bike park days and short after-work laps.
How to choose a women's short sleeve MTB jersey
- Fit: a loose or regular fit gives freedom of movement over pads and protection; a closer fit reduces flapping on fast descents and under a pack.
- Size: check the shoulder width and body length first, and remember that a jersey worn over a chest protector or hydration pack needs a little extra room.
- Fabric: polyester and polyester blends dry quickly and wick sweat; a lighter, more open knit is better for hot days, a denser weave resists trail abrasion better.
- Sleeve length and cuff: short sleeves should end above the elbow pad so the two do not bunch or rub.
- Body length: a slightly dropped hem keeps the lower back covered in a forward riding position.
- Comfort details: flat or offset seams reduce chafing under pack straps, and a tagless collar avoids irritation on long rides.
- Care: wash technical jerseys cool, avoid fabric softener, and let them air dry to keep the wicking finish working.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a women's MTB jersey and a road cycling jersey?
An MTB jersey has a looser cut, a higher collar-free neckline and hard-wearing fabric, and usually has no rear pockets, because mountain bikers carry gear in a pack or hip bag. Road jerseys are cut tight and aerodynamic with pockets on the back.
Should I size up in a mountain bike jersey?
Only if you regularly wear elbow pads, a chest protector or a full hydration pack underneath. For a jersey worn over a base layer alone, your usual size in the brand's women's sizing is normally right.
Can I wear a short sleeve jersey with elbow pads?
Yes. Choose a jersey whose sleeve ends above the top of the pad, so the fabric does not roll up or press against the pad edge while you ride.
Do I need a base layer under a short sleeve jersey?
A thin base layer helps move sweat away faster and protects the skin under pack straps or body armour. On very hot days many riders wear the jersey alone.
How do I keep a jersey from smelling after hard rides?
Rinse or wash it soon after riding, use a cool wash without fabric softener, and dry it in the air rather than a tumble dryer.
