Perfect fit for biking

This shirt is lightweight and has a great cut. I wear it on most of my gravel and mountain bike rides.

Go to riding shirt!

This is my favourite T-shirt - the fit is perfect, it's light and breathable, and excellent at preventing odor buildup. I wear these daily and it's fantastic to be able to go from work to the trail without changing my top. I'm 5'11, 155lbs and the small fits perfectly (I like my tees slim fit).

Perfect fitting tech tee

I bought my first Desperado Merino shirt based on a friend's recommendation. I have a long rode riding history and have a lot of full zip organized ride jerseys that don't seem to work as well with my MTB setup. This jersey is the perfect weight for riding on any day from 40 degrees to 100 degrees F. It breathes well and dries quickly. The looser fit is a better match to days on the trail. In fact I love this shirt so much I bought a second and wear them when hiking. The size suggestion was correct. I am 6 ft and 180 (40in chest, 34in arm) and the medium fits great. Buy one or two and you will never wear a different jersey again.

Go To MTB Shirt

I have worn this gravel biking the dempster, to visiting friends for dinner. As all the reviews state it’s as advertised and is my go to t shirt. Comfy and light weight but also warm or cool when required.

All round everything

What more do you want? It‘s very lightweight and packs easily, keeps you cool, dries very fast after you climbed the hill, and doesn’t smell the next day on your longer trip. And it even look great. A+.

Super in summer

Just what I was hoping for from this shirt. It's got a nice relaxed fit and the material is comfy enough for it to be worn on and off the bike. Surprisingly breathable for how comfy it is too! Even on the hottest of summer days it didn't get sweaty or start clinging to me.
7mesh deliver once again!

Comfy and lightweight

Subtle look with great design touches that keep it from bunching or fitting “weird” both on and off the bike. Wore mine multiple days on a trip to Arizona and it was breathable but didn’t get stinky. I’ll get another soon

The bomb

This riding shirt looks good on you...like you'll not want to wear it riding and get it dirty. BUT, once you ride in it, you'll have no reason to ever take it off. Soft, breathable, not too tight and doesn't get heavy when you've been out all day. I'll end up getting one in each color. A nice lens wipe under the hem would be a nice addition :)

From trails to the tap

My new favorite mtb shirt. Fit, material, and articulation are perfect and comfortable (similar fit as the Sight). Feels light on the body and breathes very well (Elevate beats it though). It's not as plushy soft as the Sight, but the Desperado doesn't feel so fake and muggy like the Sight does. Drys decently quickly and doesn't retain odor! I wouldn't mind wearing this for a couple of rides or to grab some food after a ride. If had to pick something I didn't like: I think 7Mesh could do better with the colors on this one.

My new favorite mtb shirt.
