HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT CYCLING JERSEY? A COMPLETE GUIDE

Each jersey, a piece of craftsmanship: technology, precision, and elegance

At Etxeondo, we’ve spent years developing technical garments that blend performance, comfort, and style. This cycling jersey guide will help you find the model that best suits you from the Spring–Summer 2025 collection.

When choosing a summer cycling jersey, it’s not just about design or price — technical features make all the difference. Every Etxeondo jersey incorporates key elements designed to deliver an optimal riding experience, such as:

Expertly designed patterns, carefully constructed with respect to the fabric’s grain, for a flawless drape and perfect fit.

SPF 50+ sun protection, essential for long days out in the sun.

Anti-slip waistband, to keep the jersey securely in place and prevent chafing or discomfort.

Full-length locking zipper, allowing for adjustable and secure ventilation during the ride.

Three rear pockets, practical for carrying everything you need on your ride.

Vinyl logo, with a high-quality finish for added durability and style.

THE ULTIMATE JERSEY GUIDE

MAILLOTS HOMBRE Y MUJER

MENDI / MENDIA

Designed for riders who demand top performance on every ride. Mendi and Mendia combine two next-gen fabrics: Microsystem Air and Microsystem Performance, delivering ultra-lightweight feel, breathability, and a precise fit. Extremely versatile, ideal for intense training, gran fondos, or long road rides.

ALDE METALIC / ALDE METALICA

A special edition with a metallic finish for a bold, standout look. These jerseys offer an ergonomic fit and a Pattern structure that feels like a second skin. Perfect for those who want to combine elite-level performance with exclusive design. The build enhances ventilation without compromising on compression.

ALDE 110 LW / ALDA 110 LW

A lighter, more technical version of the previous model. The Microsystem Performance LW fabric further reduces weight and maximizes breathability, making it a great option for hot days or long climbs under the sun. Features a second-skin free cut fit and minimized seams for a premium riding experience.

ALDE ML / ALDA ML

With long sleeves and designed for cooler temperatures (14–25 °C), this jersey is ideal for spring or early summer rides. Includes an eco-friendly Green Pocket rear pocket and maintains the precise fit and technical construction of the PRO range. A great choice for riders who prioritize performance and want sun protection on warmer days.

ONDAR / ONDARA

Designed for long distances and maximum comfort. The cut is more relaxed but retains technical support and structure. Microsystem Endurance fabric is developed to regulate temperature and feels soft against the skin. A balanced jersey: comfortable, durable, and reliable — perfect for multi-day adventures or mountain routes.

GARA

A classic that’s refreshed each season. Gara is known for its versatility, breathability, and clean aesthetic. Made with Microsystem Airplus SPF 30+ and Microsystem Performance, it’s ideal for riders who value straightforward comfort. Great for daily training and hard summer efforts alike.

BIKO / BIKA

Functional, lightweight, and with a slightly less compressive fit than the PRO range. The mix of Microsystem Superdry and Endurance fabrics makes it a great choice for those looking for freshness, comfort, and a modern look. Ideal for everyday use or for riders transitioning to technical apparel.

TRAMA

The newest addition to the collection. A sophisticated piece that excels in both design and performance. Microsystem Airplus fabric offers excellent airflow and a soft touch, while the refined construction takes comfort to another level. Trama is the perfect jersey for riders who value style without sacrificing technical quality.
