Need help determining your size? It's easy!

Summer doesn't have to mean skin.

Picture the perfect summer ride: Long miles, ice cream pit stops, maybe a mid-ride dip in the ocean or local swimming hole. Sounds dreamy, right? This summer, keep those summer memories limited to icy cold sweet treats and late night sunsets: not crispy skin and new tan lines (or worse, sunburn!).

The Summerweight Long Sleeve is super light, silky against the skin, and provides weightless sun protection in UPF 50 to block the sun's harmful rays. It feels barely there but doesn't skimp on technical features like three full-sized pockets and added vents to aid in moisture wicking and camouflage sweat.

For this dreamy, opalescent palm print we teamed up with Alex Proba, creator of the "Hers - Poster A Day" Series and collector of stories about life-changing women.

UPF 50+ protects your skin from sun damage.

What's UPF?

UPF stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor. It's similar to the SPF rating used in sunscreen.
UPF Rating of 50+ means that less than 2.5% of ultraviolet rays can pass through the fabric.
Because the UPF rating comes from the tight weave of the fabric, its effectiveness won't diminish with time.

Multi-function jersey

I just purchased the palm summer-weight long sleeve jersey. I have had the blue one for one year -- I liked it so much I decided to get another one. The fabric is luxuriously smooth, soft, and stretchy. The construction holds up, as I have worn the blue one probably 30+ times and have had no issues whatsoever (I wear all my clothes pretty hard so this is a big plus). I've ridden these jerseys in 95 degree temps and I have stayed cool. I also wear them during the Bay Area winters, on days where I don't need a jacket, with a thin merino wool tank top underneath. I am 5'2", 140 pounds and the medium fits great, like a comfortable second skin (though I am a large in the short-sleeve jerseys, probably because they are less stretchy). The length of the jersey and the arms are also spot on for me (someone on the shorter side).

Exactly what I was looking for.

This is the 2nd jersey I ordered from MFF. Although this is the priciest jerseys I've ever gotten, I went for the splurge... twice. The reasons: I wanted a tight fitting jersey that didn't sag, that was bright, and that had a good pocket system. I don't like to have any skin showing - with this jersey to get that effect( a bit of skin shows between my gloves and jersety) I need to wear wrist bands. I don't mind though since this jersey is the best I've had so far to be technical and mostly skin covering. (I have a pretty severe bee allergy so like to stay covered while riding plus also don't like getting sun exposure). How long does this jersey stay SPF? Thanks!

Cute but not perfect

Living in Texas, it's challenging to find something that protects your skin but still looks cute. In the past I've always worn a thank with a cycling shawl over it but always felt like I was missing out on the cycling vibe. Thus, it was great finding this jersey that was designed for summer wear. Most long sleeves cycling gear was made for the cold so I was pleasantly surprised to have this option! However, for this high price, I was hoping for it to be perfect but it's not quite there yet. The design in the Palm was adorable and made me feel feminine. However, when I wear a patterned sports bra, I could partially see through. Also, I felt that the sleeves were just 1 inch too short. There was a big gap between my gloves and where the sleeves ended and that would be an unsightly tan line. Performance wise though, the jersey did keep me cool and hugged my body well. May consider purchasing another if there were more design options to chose from but don't regret getting it.

Love the blue jersey

I have two of these and I love it. It’s super light and it protects my skin from the sun while riding during the hot summer days. It’s super high quality and true to size.

Soft and smooth

Extremely comfortable jersey! Feels silky smooth, looks beautiful and fits great. I’m a heavy sweater so I need something a little more breathable on really hot days, but otherwise excellent.
