Men's Old Glory Cycling Jersey by Aero Tech Designs

Something I didn’t think I’d find Made in the USA was cycling gear. From bikes and bags to apparel, we’ve got you covered in our directory. As a relatively casual cyclist, hopping in the saddle no more than 10 times a year, my gear has generally been slow to keep up. I didn’t feel my low mileage warranted the latest and greatest. That said, I felt like a new jersey was due to slot into rotation. I came across one that felt just right. One that allowed some expression and aligned well with hitting the open road.

Aero Tech Designs was the source of said expressive new jersey. Located just outside of Pittsburgh, in Corapolis Pennsylvania, Aero Tech Designs offers a large collection of shorts, bibs, jerseys, tops, jackets, vests, socks, and more. Aero Tech Designs promotes shorter lead times, less chance of logistical errors, and better customer service as a product of their American manufacturing. It’s important to note that not all of their products originate from their Pennsylvania facility, so be sure to confirm a product’s origin location if you’re on a steadfast Made in the USA journey like I am.

The Men's Old Glory Cycling Jersey offers a distinctive flair on the stars and stripes. Offered in standard and tall lengths and sizes Small through 5XL, it’s a great option for those looking to let freedom spin. Want a full kit? Pair it with the Men’s Gel Touring Cycling Shorts – Stars and Stripes. Equipped with a YKK zipper and 3 rear storage pockets, this relaxed-fit jersey made of moisture-wicking polyester offers UPF 50+ sun protection as an added benefit for those sunny days.

In my recent ride, the jersey performed fantastically. Beyond riding in style, the top functioned well and didn’t cause me any issues. A reflective trim tab on the back provided some pre-sunrise safety functionality as well. I’m excited to have this item in my rotation and plan to check out some more of Aero Tech Designs’ offerings.
