To use this jersey, simply put it on like any other top. The full - length zipper allows you to open it up when you start to feel warm, so you can let in fresh air. When riding, the silicone gripper at the waist will keep the jersey from riding up. As for maintenance, it's best to wash the jersey in cold water with a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners as they can reduce the fabric's breathability. Hang it to dry instead of putting it in the dryer to prevent damage to the fabric and the zipper. Also, don't iron directly on the printed parts of the jersey to keep the design looking great.
