Cafe du Cycliste Mona Short Sleeve Jersey

Café du Cycliste Mona Short Sleeve Jersey—a super-light performance jersey from the Audax collection—is crafted for high-summer, long-distance rides. Its semi-mesh fabric excels at ventilation and thermoregulation, keeping you cool when the pace and temperature rise.

Designed for endurance, the Mona jersey includes three rear cargo pockets, plus a distinctive oversized mesh “drop” pocket for layering essentials or gear. Visibility is prioritized with large reflective panels below the pockets and reflective trim on the shoulders.
