Kanza
$74.99 $94.99
Kanza Men’s – ride-ready, café-friendly, made to move. Kanza gives you the technical performance of a cycling jersey in a shirt that blends right in when you step off the trail. Lightweight, breathable, and pong-free, it’s perfect for multi-day gravel rides, hut-to-hut hikes, or anywhere you’re travelling fast and light — without dressing like a racer.
Performance where it counts
-
Lightweight, fast-drying fabric with UPF 50+ sun protection
-
Polygiene® anti-odour treatment for multi-day freshness
-
Articulated cycling fit with snap front and cuffs for venting
Built for miles in the saddle and moments off it
Kanza is designed for long hours on the bike — with articulated shoulders, a dropped rear hem and side splits for comfort and freedom when you’re leaning forward or shifting pace. The fabric is breathable, quick to wick away sweat, and dries fast whether you’re climbing passes or rinsing it out at the end of the day.
Snap fastenings on the front and cuffs make it easy to vent heat or roll up sleeves mid-ride. Long sleeves offer extra sun protection or light warmth in cooler conditions, while the chest pocket adds simple storage. And the casual style means you’re always dressed appropriately, whether you’re pushing up a climb or walking into a bakery.
Lower maintenance. Longer wear. More stops, fewer washes.
Kanza is treated with Polygiene® odour control, so it stays fresh for days — ideal for bikepacking, hiking, or low-wash travel. The lightweight polyester fabric is soft, durable and quick-drying, keeping you comfortable on the move and cutting down your need to pack spares. It’s a true fast-and-light staple that blends in wherever the ride takes you.

How It Is Made
Wear more, wash less
Polygiene® Stay Fresh technology inhibits the growth of bacteria, extending your shirt's lifespan and meaning you can wear it more and wash it less. Wearing your shirt just one more time before washing can save huge amounts of CO₂ and water over its lifespan
