Cafe du Cycliste Constance Long Sleeve Jersey Mens Info

The Café du Cycliste Constance Long Sleeve Jersey is a midweight race jersey for cool to mild days, made for high-tempo training rides and racing. It sits in Café du Cycliste's Race line, the Nice-based brand's performance range, and it comes from the Vallée des Merveilles capsule for Autumn/Winter 2026, which draws on the high-altitude backcountry above Nice.

Fabric and Fit

The body is an Italian-milled blend of recycled nylon and elastane. It has four-way stretch, so the jersey moves with you in the saddle and doesn't bunch or pull when you reach for the bars. The inside is micro-brushed, which Café du Cycliste says dries quickly and moves moisture well. That brushed surface also gives you a soft layer against the skin on the first cold miles of a ride.

The fit is a close, performance cut, what the brand calls a second-skin approach. It sits tight to the body to cut down on flapping fabric at speed and to make layering easy. Café du Cycliste's size chart runs from XXS to XXL, and arm lengths run from 56.5cm to 65.5cm, so there is a useful range for riders who find long sleeves ride short.

Where It Fits in Your Wardrobe

Café du Cycliste rates the Constance for road riding and racing, with a stated temperature range that runs from cold to warm. The practical sweet spot is the cool-to-mild window: crisp spring mornings, autumn club rides and winter days with a gilet or jacket on top. Because the fabric is stretchy and fitted, it works well as a base for those layers without adding bulk. Think of it as the jersey you pull on when a short-sleeve is not enough and a full winter jacket is too much.

Materials and Responsibility

The fabric carries three third-party certifications: OEKO-TEX Standard 100, bluesign and GRS (Global Recycled Standard). In plain terms, that covers textile safety, responsible manufacturing and recycled content. The jersey also has Café du Cycliste's Race signature badge. If you ever outgrow it, the brand runs a pre-loved platform called Recycliste for products with plenty of miles left.

At $260, the Constance is a premium cold-weather jersey, and the cut, fabric and certifications reflect that. It suits riders who want one well-fitted long-sleeve for training and racing, from a French brand that has built its reputation on road racing style.

The RA Perspective

The Constance is a good example of what a long-sleeve race jersey should do: fit close, move with you and stay out of the way. The recycled Italian nylon has real stretch in all four directions, and the micro-brushed interior makes it feel more substantial than a summer jersey without being heavy.

We like it most as a layering piece. It is cut close enough that a gilet or light jacket over the top does not add bulk, which matters on the sort of cool, changeable mornings where you are shedding and adding layers at every stop. Café du Cycliste calls it midweight, so think of it for cool to mild riding, not deep winter.

A few things to know before you order. The fit is deliberately snug, so if you sit between sizes or prefer a relaxed cut, check the size chart and consider going up. The arm lengths run long on the larger sizes, which helps taller riders, but the jersey is not a winter-weight piece and will want a jacket in properly cold weather. At $260 it is also priced as a premium garment, and the fabric certifications are part of what you are paying for.

It is best for riders who put in training miles from autumn through spring and want one dependable long sleeve that looks as good as it rides. If you already own a good gilet, this is the jersey that makes it more useful.
