Why not just wear a technical tee?

A cheap tech tee works. Raw Style is for riders who want one shirt that performs better on the bike, stays wearable longer between washes, and works for the rest of their MTB life too.

Performs on the bike

Merino helps manage moisture, temperature, and odor, while the relaxed trail fit and drop-tail coverage are designed for movement on the bike.

Built to keep going

A nylon core adds strength to the fabric for repeated riding and everyday use without giving up the soft feel of merino against your skin.

Useful beyond the ride

Odor resistance and understated styling make it useful for coaching, camping, travel, post-ride food, multi-day trips, and everyday wear.

Fabric construction

Soft merino outside. Strength built into the core.

Our fabric pairs a nylon core with merino on the outside. That gives the jersey more strength for trail use and repeated wear without giving up the soft feel of merino against your skin.

The fit is relaxed on purpose, with room to move freely on the bike without feeling oversized. It feels familiar like a comfortable T-shirt, but is shaped for riding. Each jersey also includes a drop-tail hem for better coverage in the riding position.

What riders say

“Shirt fits great and keeps me cool on rides, best of all it’s tailored for mountain bikers so covers your back and allows for full range of motion.”

Ian

“Very soft and I'm impressed with odor control. I can just rinse it and air dry it when traveling and it has no odor at all.”

Tim

“It was great when I started in the morning in cooler temps and it was amazing when it got quite warm. It didn’t stick to my body even as much as I was sweating.”

Questions before you ride

Is merino itchy?

For most people, no. The fabric feels soft against the skin and is designed to balance comfort with the durability you need for riding. That said, wool sensitivity varies. A small number of people simply find merino itchy, even when it’s made for activewear.

Is this jersey too warm for summer?

No. At 150 GSM, it sits in a sweet spot for three-season riding. It’s light enough for hot-weather rides while still helping regulate temperature when conditions change.

How does the fit compare with a normal T-shirt?

It feels familiar, but it’s more relaxed on purpose. There’s extra room to move freely on the bike, plus a drop-tail hem for better coverage while you’re riding. Off the bike, it still looks and feels a lot like a comfortable T-shirt.

What size should I buy?

Start with the T-shirt size you normally wear. The jerseys fit true to size. If you’re between sizes, we recommend sizing up. Merino can shrink slightly over time, and because the fit is intentionally relaxed, going up a size still feels natural rather than oversized.

How should I wash it?

Wash it on a normal cycle and avoid hot water. Skip the dryer completely. Just hang it up or lay it over a drying rack or chair and let it air dry. If you dry it outside, keep it out of direct sunlight.

Why not just wear a technical tee?

You absolutely can. A technical tee works fine for a lot of riders. Raw Style is for riders who want more from one shirt.
