The Pearl Izumi Launch Jersey transports us back to a simpler time. A time, five years ago (give or take), when every jersey didn't have to have zippers criss-crossing every possible fabric panel. A time when you didn't need media pockets because you went biking to escape all that crap. A time when a shirt was just a shirt, and breathable, moisture-wicking fabric was enough. Join us for a journey into the not-so-distant past. Oh, and grab your Pearl Izumi Launch Jersey–you'll need that.

The Pearl Izumi Launch Jersey is made for warm-weather riding. The breathable, moisture-wicking polyester fabric pulls moisture away from your skin to keep you dry and comfortable. It also dries quickly, so it remains lightweight, even during intense riding. Light weight is a big part of what makes the Launch one of our favorites. Without zippers, pockets, and headphone conduits, the Launch weighs almost nothing. This is a welcome departure from many of the jerseys that are popping up these days, which are strewn from collar to hem with bells, whistles, doo-dads, and–let's face it–gimmicks. For a little bit of added style, Pearl Izumi gave the Launch Jersey a comfortable V-neck collar and unique asymmetrical print that sets it apart from the cookie-cutter riding jerseys you see all over the trails.

The Pearl Izumi Launch Jersey comes in sizes S through XXL. It's available in Electric Blue/Grey Scrib Camo, Black/Samurai Plaid, and Shadow Grey/Grey Hex.
