Troy Lee Designs Jersey
Troy Lee Design have used the things learned from their work in motocross in their mountain bike products. This means you can’t really go wrong with a Troy Lee Designs jersey for your days blasting around the mountain bike trails. In this post I ma going to run through the range, to help you decide what Troy Lee Designs jersey to choose.
Troy Lee Designs Skyline Jersey
There are a number of different styles of the Troy Lee Designs Skyline jersey. They are actually quite subtle in comparison to other Troy Lee Designs jerseys of the past.
The Skyline has quite a casual fit to it, while having some great technical features. This makes it a proper mountain bike jersey. One of these features is the Troy Lee Designs Ride Fit. This is what makes it a jersey for everyday mountain biking. The Ride Fit is a looser style, with a relaxed fit around the body, wider sleeves, but still maintains a traditional length.
The Skyline’s fabric is a mix of 92% polyester and 8% Elastane. This gives is a nice amount of stretch whilst still feeling soft. This combination makes the Skyline a very comfortable jersey that doesn’t restrict your movement.
When you slip on the Skyline jersey, its shape makes it feel really comfortable. The long and baggy fit gives it a light and airy feel, which is a bonus when you are riding on hot days. This also means that there are no parts that cling to you, making you feel a bit trapped, like some mountain bike jerseys do. This is a good choice for mountain bikers that like a bit of space and for those that are a bit larger.
Another feature you will see on the Skyline and other Troy Lee Designs Jerseys, is that the material is Bluesign approved. his means that it has been independently certified as being eco friendly and free from harmful substances.
Key Features
- Materials: 92% Polyester, 8% Elastane
- TLD Dura Mesh fabric
- Long Sleeve for versatile riding conditions
- One zippered back pocket with an optic wipe
- Wicking & quick dry finishes
- Fabric is certified Bluesign® approved

Troy Lee Rukus Jersey
The Troy Lee Designs Rukus jersey is a 3/4 length sleeve jersey designed for riding in warmer weather.
This jersey features the TLD Dura Mesh fabric. This makes it ideal for riding when the temperatures are high. The Rukus has a very light feel to it when on your body and it wicks away moisture super fast, to make sure you don’t get cold.
The Troy Lee Designs Rukus also features the Bluesign certified approved fabric, so you can feel god that you have bought something sustainable and eco friendly.
The 3/4 sleeves give you more coverage than a short sleeve jersey and work well with your mountain bike elbow pads. This means that you have a bit more protection from scrapes from when you get a bit too close to the bushes or crash. A nice little bonus feature, is the goggle wipe located in the back pocket, this can be zipped closed so you don’t lose your mid-ride snack.
The Ruckus has the TLD Race Fit. This is a little more tailored than TLD’s Ride Fit. The difference is, that the torso is slimmer and the sleeves tapered. This is so the jersey doesn’t flap around when you are charging.
Key Features
- Materials: 92% Polyester, 8% Elastane
- TLD Dura Mesh fabric
- 3/4 Sleeve for versatile riding conditions
- One zippered back pocket with an optic wipe

Troy Lee Mischief Jersey
The Troy Lee Designs Mischief is a women’s specific mountain bike jersey. It is a high performance, lightweight jersey, designed to keep you nice and cool when working hard on the bike.
Comfort comes from its excellent breathability and fast moisture wicking properties. It has strategically placed mesh panels on the back and under the arms. This is to provide ventilation and to easily allow moisture to escape. This means that you will be feeling dry and fresh, even when you are grinding the pedals on the hottest of days.
The fabric stretches 4 ways, so your movement isn’t compromised. Even though the fabric is lightweight, it is also durable, so it will last a long time and stand up to crashes and the tough nature of mountain biking, As with all of Troy Lee Designs clothing, the Mischief is made with Bluesign certified approved fabric, so you’re doing your bit for the environment.

Troy Lee Sprint Jersey
The Troy Lee Designs Sprint is a long sleeved jersey, designed for Enduro and downhill mountain biking.
The style of this jersey strikes a good balance of bold colours, but without being too garish. This means that you won’t feel to self conscious when you are sit-in in the pub having your post ride beer. You will love the fit and feel of this jersey, especially if you like a slimmer fit.
The Sprint has Troy Lee Designs Race Fit. This is a more tailored fit with tapered sleeves to reduce the amount that it flaps when you are giving it the big ‘un.
This is the perfect jersey for all day riding. The Ultra Knit fabric is very light and soft, giving it a comfortable feeling against your skin. The fabric is also very breathable, but in addition to this, the Sprint gets mesh underarm vents and strategically placed laser perforations.

Troy Lee Designs Flowline Jersey
The Troy Lee Designs Flowline jersey would be my pick of the bunch. There is a choice of short or long sleeves and styles.
Compared to the other jerseys available from Troy Lee Designs, the Flowline has more subtle colours, which means that they look great on or off the bike. The jerseys in the Flowline range have a more casual look about them, but they are still proper mountain bike jerseys with technical features.
This is a versatile jersey that can be used for all types of riding, from all day missions to a dirt jump session. The fabric wicks away moisture quickly and dries quickly too. The Flowline jersey is very comfortable land is ideal for riding on hot days, thanks to the TLD Dura Knit fabric.
