As you squeeze through narrow singletrack, brush past overhanging branches and prickly bushes and even dust yourself off after a crash, the Defend Short Sleeve Cycling Jersey (Cekt) is built to take it all in its stride. 

While enjoying the thrill of your ride and creating a sweat, the TruDri technology keeps you dry. This fabric design moves sweat quickly off the body to leave you dry even in warmer weather and during intense riding sessions. Mesh panels are also deployed to give you a boost to ventilation.

Lastly, the Defend is cut for mountain biking. The fit is tailored to allow you plenty of mobility when manoeuvring your bike. The long sleeves are designed to easily accommodate elbow guards and the drop tail provides extended coverage across the lower back, just right when you get low and aggressive on steep terrain. It gives the ideal fit for riding hard but is great for those more mellow rides too.
