Prospect Long Sleeve Shirt - Men's

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I reach for the Prospect Long Sleeve on commute days where I need something that performs on the bike but looks polished enough for wherever the day takes me after. The laser perforated panels keep airflow moving on sustained efforts, the natural anti-odor properties hold up through full days without a freshen-up, and the BioViz reflective elements are subtle enough to not read as technical gear when I am off the bike."

Cyclists who commute, travel, or simply prefer not to carry a change of clothes need a shirt that performs on the bike without broadcasting the fact that it was designed for one. The Pearl Izumi Prospect Long Sleeve Shirt is built around that use case, combining a modern button-up silhouette with a performance fabric blend that handles the full range of demands between a spirited morning commute and a full day away from home.

The fabric construction leads with 60% recycled polyester for structure, moisture management, and durability, blended with 30% TENCEL™ Lyocell for a natural, breathable hand feel that sits closer to a premium casual shirt than a traditional cycling layer. Three percent spandex adds enough stretch for a full pedaling range of motion without distorting the fit or creating the pull across the shoulders that plagues less thoughtfully constructed riding shirts. Laser perforations on the side panels and under the arms create targeted ventilation zones that increase airflow precisely where heat builds most during sustained efforts, and the snap front allows quick chest ventilation adjustments without fully opening the shirt on mixed-pace rides.

BioViz® reflective elements are integrated into the design without compromising the shirt's street-appropriate aesthetic, providing meaningful low-light visibility for early starts and late finishes on urban commutes or mixed-surface routes. UPF 30+ protection handles direct sun exposure across all-day outdoor use, and natural anti-odor properties inherent to the TENCEL™ fiber extend the shirt's wearability across multiple days without requiring a wash between outings. Pearl Izumi's Pedal to Zero™ certification ties the garment's climate impact directly to riding behavior, with 19 miles of bike commuting offsetting the full environmental cost of production.
