Cafe Du Cycliste Barbara V2

Barbara is a three-quarter sleeve jersey from Café du Cycliste’s Outlands line — the adventure range, not the race one. It has a relaxed fit, a fully breathable lightweight construction and a reinforced three-pocket back with one pocket built specifically for a phone.

This is the Naples Yellow colourway from Café du Cycliste’s SS25 Play Edit — pale yellow raglan sleeves against a grey and off-white body. Made from 100% recycled polyester, OEKO-TEX® and GRS certified.

The detail

Three-quarter sleeves

Raglan sleeves that finish on the forearm. More coverage from the sun than a short sleeve, no seam sitting on the shoulder, and nothing to ride up when you are moving around on the bike.

A pocket built for a phone

Three reinforced rear pockets, one of them designed specifically to hold a phone. Reinforced matters on a relaxed-fit jersey — a loose back panel with a loaded pocket is what sags.

Relaxed, not baggy

Café du Cycliste’s relaxed fit is a little looser across the body than their race jerseys — technical performance with a freer form. It works off the bike as well as on it.

100% recycled, certified

Made entirely from recycled polyester, with OEKO-TEX®, GRS and recycled-fabric certification, and an Italian fabric.

Who it is for

Café du Cycliste mark this one for gravel and MTB only — not road, not racing. That is an honest label, and it tells you what it is:

• Gravel and trail riding — a looser cut that does not feel like a second skin when you are out of the saddle and moving around.
• Sun coverage — three-quarter sleeves cover the forearms on long exposed rides where a short sleeve leaves them bare.
• Riders who stop — it does not look like race kit at a café or a trailhead.
• Anyone who hates a tight jersey — this is the Café du Cycliste cut for people who find race fit unforgiving.

Rated 18–30°C. For the hottest part of a Gulf summer a lighter short-sleeve race jersey will breathe better; this one covers the rest of the year and the cooler morning starts.

Size guide

Café du Cycliste’s men’s measurements in centimetres. These are body measurements, not garment measurements — and remember this is a relaxed fit, so it will sit looser than the numbers suggest.

Between two sizes? Take the smaller one — the relaxed cut already adds room, and sizing up can leave the three-quarter sleeves longer than intended.
