Bloom - against all odds.

Cropping up between sand blown rocks, bent against the harsh winds and yet, still standing. The tiniest desert blooms paint the landscape gold, unfazed by their surroundings. Dainty and sweet at first glance, these blooms have strength. In the most unexpected places, they bloom.

Our favorite lightweight long sleeve cycling jersey is back with a minimal dusting of floral. The petite blooms pop against sleek black, marrying intensity with softness; strength with tenderness.

The super soft, second skin fabric stays cool even in the desert heat - or the humid city streets where you might clock most of your miles! The Machines Summerweight long sleeve cycling jersey is a best-seller for a reason: it combines UPF 50+ sun protection with the lightest fabric you've ever felt. Much more comfortable than greasy sunscreen and with no need to reapply, these jerseys have completely changed the way we think about kitting up. Plus, tan lines we thought were permanently etched into our skin have faded! In a new colorway for sleek summer vibes, Summerweight is back.

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, sweat, or washings.

Great in all temps

This was my first MFF jersey purchase (I have two pairs of bibs already) and I went out on a limb with the long-sleeved choice. Was not disappointed. I've worn this on rides in both 90- and 50-degree weather and loved it every time. It's comfortable and super cute, and I love that you don't have to cover yourself in sunscreen! I actually felt cooler on the hot rides than in a short-sleeved top. Highly recommend.

Great top for cool and warm days

I’m 5’9, 140- small fit perfectly. Felt great while I rode my first century in it!

Summerweight #FTW

Absolutely obsessed. After snagging the irresistible teal and white floral print (my first MFF purchase) it took no time to decide I needed another - trying to ride in the same jersey 4 days a week was just not happening. These are my go-to. The desert bloom is equally as feminine and gorgeous, my friends LOVE this look. But aside from being aesthetically stunning, they are the most comfortable, practical jerseys I own with breathability and pockets to boot! When I’m hot and sweaty, the jersey cools me off, and when it’s a little chilly, I’m glad I have my long sleeves. I’m so excited to see what this jersey is like as the cooler months come. It’s light, but snug and feels amazing. I look forward to snagging some MFF layers and getting out there this winter!

Lightweight and performs well

I love my new jersey. It is lightweight as advertised, much lighter than the short sleeve jersey, like so light I thought, am I actually still wearing a jersey?. Same fit. Despite having sleeves, didn’t feel hot on a long ride. Also, quick drying after being savagely rained on during a different ride.

Love the Lightweight Longsleeve

Such a great jersey- So silky and sleek and the little flowers are so dainty - yet I like that it’s nearly all black. An added bonus is it goes so well with my 2019 cycling club vest. Perfect weight for a morning ride in the summer - when it’s not cold but not exactly warm. It even helped me PR Hawk Hill - a feat that (if you live in SF/Northern California) is almost better than New Bike Day!
