synthetic quick-dry tee
Recycled polyester tee with a stated drying time and the conditions it was measured in.
three places, three grades
a grade with no reason is not a grade
- hikingsuitable
- Dries between climbs; the open jersey structure moves water outward faster than the merino knits.
- cyclingsuitable
- Back hem drops 4 cm and the fabric recovers its shape after being stretched over the bars for an hour.
- commutingusable
- Function first: the jersey has a visible technical surface, so it looks like sportswear rather than a plain tee at a desk.
Cycling grades account for back hem length, sleeve length with your arms forward on the bars, and whether there is a rear pocket you can reach. Rear pocket on this piece: no.

the piece
A 130 g/m² recycled polyester jersey for days when you expect to soak the layer and want it back before the next climb. The drying figure below is ours, measured in our own workshop, and the conditions are printed with it — a drying time without conditions is not a number.
what it does, and where it stops
how we test- fabric weight
- 130 g/m²
- garment weight
- 132 g in EU 50 / M
- water repellency
- None. No repellent finish on this fabric.
- hydrostatic resistance (EN ISO 811)
- Not published.
- breathability (EN ISO 11092)
- Not published.
No water-repellent finish. This fabric soaks through in rain and is meant to be worn under a shell.
Not measured. This garment is water-repellent only, so no hydrostatic figure is published for it.
Not yet measured. No breathability figure is published and no breathability claim is made until it is measured to this standard.
- Drying time, in-house method: garment wetted with 100 g of water, hung in still air at 20 °C and 50 % relative humidity, weighed to constant mass — 38 minutes
- That is an in-house method, not a published standard; treat it as comparable only against our own garments measured the same way
- Open-structure jersey, 130 g/m², no finish applied
sizes, measured

Garment measurements in centimetres, taken flat. Tolerance ±1 cm — a run of fabric is never exact, and we would rather print the tolerance than pretend it away.
the same garment, in a riding position
| size | back coverage, riding | sleeve, arms forward |
|---|---|---|
| EU 46 | 66 cm | 21 cm |
| EU 48 | 68 cm | 23 cm |
| EU 50 | 70 cm | 25 cm |
| EU 52 | 72 cm | 27 cm |
| EU 54 | 74 cm | 29 cm |
Measured on a mannequin held at a 35° forward lean. A forward lean lifts the back hem and pulls the sleeve back from the wrist, so these figures are lower than the standing ones — that is the effect, stated rather than hidden.

honest reviews
We publish reviews from verified purchases only, and we do not filter out the critical ones. This piece has not been out long enough to have any yet — when it does, they will appear here unedited, with the size bought next to each one.
