Backcountry Empire Long-Sleeve Jersey - Women's

Built for trail days that demand coverage, the Empire Long-Sleeve Jersey balances breathability and durability

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

“I’ve ridden the Empire Long-Sleeve Jersey everywhere from hot trail laps to cooler enduro days, and it holds up really well. The fabric breathes better than expected, the sleeves protect without feeling heavy, and the fit works great with pads or on its own.”

From sun-drenched climbs to shady descents, the Backcountry Long-Sleeve MTB Jersey keeps us cool, dry, and ready for every mile of trail ahead. The lightweight, breathable fabric wicks away sweat during tough ascents, while the long sleeves offer just the right amount of protection from the sun, brush, and trail debris.

Its relaxed fit gives us the freedom to move without restriction, whether we're navigating tight switchbacks or flowing through fast descents. Designed to perform on the trail and look good at the post-ride hangout, this jersey is a versatile staple in our riding kitideal for solo rides, group adventures, and everything in between.
