Description
Light, bright and outfitted with an extra-long front zipper, the Soleil LS Jersey is one of the most multi-seasonal of all the Soleils. Made of a recycled micropoly spandex that feels weightless, wicks moisture quickly, and provides a more eco-friendly and sophisticated UPF 50+ approach to sun protection, we love it for road riding but the lightweight venting nature also makes it excellent off road and on gravel. Athletic fit.

Reviews

Beautiful Design and Fit

"Beautiful design, colors, and I love the way the top fits. I also like the flexibility of having a zipper, and the fabric is great for Spring, Summer, and Fall riding in coastal NC. I am petite, weigh 125 lbs. , and the small fits me fine with the exception of the sleeves that are too long. Rolling the sleeves over a bit is not a big problem for me."

Runs Entire Size to Small

"Love the print! I was replacing one of my favorite cycling shirts. Jersey came and was completely different measurements than my original. I owned a size Small, had to return this one and order a Medium so I'd definitely recommend sizing up for expected fit. I'm a size 4 and never order Mediums so was very surprised I had to size up so significantly considering the same item from 2 years ago in size Small fit great."

Love it & Wonder About Durability?

"I measure 5'5"/ 135 lbs/ 37" chest/ 34.5" waist/ 39.5" hips/ 18" torso shoulder to waist. I sized up to Large bc it was listed as "Athletic Fit" in the product details (Terry, please indicate this in the quick view. :) Saves browsing time). Wish the jersey were a bit longer tho I have a fairly short torso. I could have ordered an XL but the L is fine--a keeper. I chose this Soleil jersey for its design. Though I like the light-weight material --perfect for cool mornings in the SW--I wonder about its durability. (I wash on delicate and air dry) I have been away from cycling for several years. Terry was my go to then so I came back. I may not be fully informed about how well this material will hold up if ever another small dog's paw gets in my front wheel. (The dog was fine; me a "minor" separated clavicle) It is a lingering question bc I learned the value of technical material in preventing "road rash" during that crash."

Great summer jersey

"Lightweight material is cool and provides full sun protection. Short Zipper front - for added cooling. Good back pockets make this Jersey great."

— Tal K. (5/5)

Great print with spf.

"The print on this along with spf is a home run, the athletic fit is not. I would be thrilled to buy this in a looser fit."

Questions & Answers

The Soleil Long Sleeve Bike Jersey is one of the most multi-seasonal of all the Soleils, pairing full arm coverage and UPF 50+ sun protection with a lightweight, venting design. Its extra-long 14-inch hidden front zipper provides plenty of ventilation when temperatures climb. The recycled micropoly spandex feels weightless and wicks moisture quickly. If you need true cold-weather insulation, a thermal piece like the Corso Thermal Bike Jersey is the better choice.

The Soleil Long Sleeve Bike Jersey is made of a recycled micropoly spandex that delivers UPF 50+ sun protection across both arms and torso, giving sun-conscious riders a more eco-friendly and sophisticated approach to full coverage. Rather than relying on sunscreen that wears off over a long ride, the fabric itself blocks UV while staying lightweight and breathable. This makes the Soleil Long Sleeve Bike Jersey a strong choice for riders who want dependable, all-day arm coverage in bright, hot conditions.

Yes — the Soleil Long Sleeve Bike Jersey earns its multi-seasonal reputation from its extra-long 14-inch hidden front zipper, which gives you a wide range of temperature control. On warm days you can vent it fully open for airflow, and on cooler mornings you can zip up for a bit more coverage. Combined with weightless, quick-wicking recycled micropoly fabric, this flexibility makes the Soleil Long Sleeve Bike Jersey practical across shoulder seasons and shifting conditions, though it isn't insulated for genuinely cold rides.

The Soleil Long Sleeve Bike Jersey works well across road, gravel, and off-road riding. It's loved for road riding, but its lightweight venting nature makes it equally capable on gravel and off-road, where breathability matters as much as sun coverage. Three open rear pockets give you room to carry essentials on longer outings away from support. Riders who want one versatile sun-protection jersey that moves between surfaces, rather than a surface-specific piece, tend to find the Soleil Long Sleeve Bike Jersey a dependable choice.

The Soleil Long Sleeve Bike Jersey has an athletic fit, cut closer to the body than the relaxed Flow version of the Soleil line. This closer fit suits riders who want a streamlined feel with minimal fabric flap at speed. If you prefer a looser, more relaxed drape, you can size up in the Soleil Long Sleeve Bike Jersey, or look to the Soleil Flow Long Sleeve Bike Top, which is designed around a more relaxed silhouette from the start.

The deciding factor is fit. The Soleil Long Sleeve Bike Jersey has an athletic cut that sits closer to the body, which many riders prefer for a streamlined feel. If you'd rather have a looser, more relaxed silhouette that doesn't hug as closely, the Soleil Flow Long Sleeve Bike Top is designed around that relaxed fit from the ground up. Both deliver UPF sun protection and full arm coverage, so the choice comes down to how snug or easy you want the garment to feel while riding.

The Soleil Long Sleeve Bike Jersey is a lightweight, UPF 50+ sun-protection jersey, so it isn't the right pick if you need warmth for genuinely cold riding — a thermal piece like the Thermal Bike Jersey serves sub-50-degree conditions far better. Riders who want a looser drape should consider the Soleil Flow Long Sleeve Bike Top instead of the athletic-fit Soleil Long Sleeve Bike Jersey. And if you want a simple layering piece without rear pockets, the Soleil Free Flow Long Sleeve Top is a cleaner option.

The Soleil Long Sleeve Bike Jersey has three open rear pockets for carrying essentials like a phone, snacks, or a packable layer on longer outings. This storage is part of what makes the Soleil Long Sleeve Bike Jersey practical for self-supported road and gravel rides where you need to bring what you'll use along the way. If you'd prefer a pocket-free layering piece to wear over or under other garments, the Soleil Free Flow Long Sleeve Top is the simpler alternative.

The Soleil Long Sleeve Bike Jersey is designed specifically around full arm coverage with UPF 50+ fabric, so it's ideal if you want to keep your arms shielded from the sun all ride. If you'd rather not have full sleeves but still want sun-aware coverage, a short sleeve option like the Actif Bike Jersey better matches that preference. Choose the Soleil Long Sleeve Bike Jersey when complete arm coverage is the goal and you want the venting flexibility of its long front zipper.
