PRIMAPELLE SHORT SLEEVE JERSEY

PISSEI Primapelle Short Sleeve Jersey

The Primapelle short sleeve jersey from PISSEI is designed for riders who want maximum freedom of movement and next-to-skin wearing comfort in summer. Its unique single-piece construction with just one underarm seam eliminates the traditional shoulder seam, noticeably reducing friction points. Combined with the proven Bi‑Directional Soft Touch microfibre, the result is a breathable, quick-drying jersey with a close-fitting Primapelle Fit. It also offers UPF 50+ protection against intense sun – perfect for long rides across Switzerland, from the Limmat to the Alpine passes; available from us in 10 variants.

• Full-length Auto‑Lock zip
• Three ergonomic rear pockets
• Reflective Pixel Technology on the rear zip pocket

• Material: 73% Polyamide / 27% Elastane

Technical Details and Features

The high-density microfibre with two-way stretch adapts to your upper body without restricting movement, maintaining a smooth, wrinkle-free surface in the wind. Thanks to efficient moisture management, the fabric dries very quickly and keeps your skin comfortably dry even on hot, humid days. The minimal-seam construction reduces chafing over long distances, while the concealed, lockable zip allows precise ventilation control. On the back, three secure pockets provide reliable storage; the centre pocket features the reflective Pixel Design for improved visibility at dusk. Sleeves with a Clean‑Cut finish and a thin, grippy hem ensure a snug fit without any pressure points.

Intended Use and Benefits

Whether it's an after-work ride around Zurich, long Alpine climbs or fast road bike outings across the Mittelland – the Primapelle really comes into its own in warm conditions. The combination of a close, aerodynamic fit and high breathability delivers a light, barely-there feel that truly shines on long summer stages. The UPF 50+ protection and Pixel visibility give you extra confidence under intense sun and in changing light. At the same time, the jersey holds its shape, moves with you and allows full freedom of movement when climbing, sprinting or heading out on a gravel connector. The result is a summer jersey that brings together comfort and performance for everyday riding.

Fit, Sizing and Care

The Primapelle Fit is close and efficient; if you prefer a race-oriented cut, this is the one for you. Sizing runs from XXS to XXXL, so even slender and tall riders can find a precise fit. To keep it in top condition, follow the care instructions: wash inside out, max. 30 °C, gentle cycle, no fabric softener and no tumble dryer – this preserves the elasticity, colour and performance of the reflective elements. In terms of materials, PISSEI uses 73% Polyamide / 27% Elastane, which promotes stretch, quick drying and a smooth feel directly against the skin.

Brand and Technology Background

The Pixel Technology developed by PISSEI combines reflective threads with print techniques to deliver high levels of visibility and breathability in one – in the Primapelle, it's discreetly integrated into the rear pockets. The collection is also used in professional racing: PISSEI has been supplying WorldTour teams since 2023, which underlines the technical standards and durability required at race level. For you, this means a summer jersey that not only looks great, but also proves itself in everyday riding and hard training alike. You benefit directly from developments that have been tested at the highest level of performance.
