Description
A jersey is the only piece of cycling equipment that touches the rider for the entire ride. Wheels, frames and groupsets get the attention, but the jersey decides whether hour four feels like hour two or like a mistake. The Long Draft is cut for the rider who stays in the drops: a close torso, a raglan shoulder that does not bunch under a helmet strap, and a sleeve that ends above the elbow where it will not flap at speed.
The fabric is a dual-denier polyester knit with a waffle structure on the back panel. That structure is not decoration. It lifts the fabric off the skin in patches, which lets air move and lets moisture transfer instead of pooling. Front panels are smoother and denser to cut wind. The result is a jersey that dries while you are still riding rather than at the cafe stop, which is the difference between a comfortable second half and a cold one.
Three rear pockets are set at an angle so they can be reached one-handed without twisting the torso. The centre pocket is deeper for a gilet or arm warmers, the two side pockets take food and a phone. A silicone gripper runs the full hem circumference, which stops the jersey riding up when the pockets are loaded. The full-length zip is a lockable YKK-style unit, so the collar stays where you set it on a descent instead of gaping open.
The bike is the machine. The jersey is the interface.

Where It Belongs
Built for road riders doing fast group laps, criterium racers, and mountain bikers who want a jersey that does not snag on a pack strap. It also suits indoor training, where the waffle back panel does the work a headwind would do outside. If your riding is mostly commuting at low effort, a relaxed cut will feel better; this one is deliberately close-fitting.
Questions Buyers Ask
Q: How tight is the pro cut?
A: Close but not compressive. It sits against the torso with no loose fabric at the waist. Riders between sizes usually size up.
Q: Will the print crack in the wash?
A: Sublimated prints are dyed into the fibre rather than applied on top, so they do not crack or peel. Wash cold and avoid the dryer.
Q: Are the pockets big enough for a phone?
A: Yes. The side pockets take a large phone; the centre pocket holds a gilet or arm warmers.
Q: Does it work for mountain biking?
A: Yes. The close cut avoids snagging on straps and the hem gripper keeps the back panel in place when you are moving around on the bike.
Q: What temperature is it for?
A: Comfortable from about 18 C upward. Below that, pair it with arm warmers and a gilet rather than a heavier jersey.
Q: Is there a zipped pocket?
A: Yes, a small zipped valuables pocket sits behind the centre rear pocket for keys and cards.
Q: Does the jersey have a race radio pocket?
A: No. The three rear pockets cover food, a phone and a gilet; there is no dedicated radio sleeve.
Q: Will it fit over a base layer?
A: Yes. The pro cut is designed to be worn over a summer base layer, with the waffle back panel doing the moisture work.
Q: Is the collar high?
A: It sits at mid neck with a lockable zip, so it can be opened on a climb and closed again for a descent without the collar gaping.
