Empire Long-Sleeve Jersey - Men's

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I recommend this to riders who deal with tight trails or variable weather. The sleeve reinforcement really helps with durability, and it still breathes well on climbs. It’s a solid go-to for technical trail days."

We pull on the Empire Long-Sleeve Jersey when the trail is narrow, the corners are fast, and the brush is close. Built by Backcountry for demanding trail rides, it delivers the coverage and durability we want without sacrificing breathability or comfort. Whether we’re climbing through trees or dropping into long descents, it stays comfortable in the saddle all day.

The four-way stretch fabric moves naturally while wicking moisture away from the body to keep us dry on sustained efforts. Reinforced nylon panels on the sleeves add abrasion resistance where branches and trail contact are most likely, while a drop-tail hem maintains coverage in an aggressive riding position. A built-in sunglass wipe keeps lenses clear when conditions change mid-ride.
