I want my mountain bike apparel to do two things: work well when I’m riding and look good once I’m done. Club Ride’s New West shirt effortlessly checks both boxes. I often wear it to start the day, go for a ride at lunch, then rush back for a Zoom call without changing.

Club Ride’s New West Shirt is pretty different from your typical bike jersey, in that it’s actually a button-up collared shirt. Don’t let the appearance fool you though — it’s actually a much higher-performance piece than it looks at a glance. The material is very thin and light at 100 g per square meter, and it’s an exceptionally breathable garment, supplemented by some cleverly hidden mesh vents under the armpits. It’s impressively comfortable in very hot weather, and I’ve also taken to wearing it casually when the temperatures really climb.

Club Ride is all about ditching “regular” mountain bike clothing and replacing it with functional pieces. The New West line of jerseys look like Western-style button-up shirts but offer trail-riding comfort.

The shirts feel cool on the trail, but they transition well while tossing back a burger and brew at Sun Valley’s Grumpy’s and even wear well at work.
