I've spoiled myself over the past couple years buying $30 jerseys. This year I bought a $50 one... I guess I'll buy one per year if I need one, and one needs retiring. I can definitely say there is a big difference in the quality and feel of the material at that price difference. But in general, I prefer to wear a cycling jersey for road riding because they're cut longer in the back so they don't ride halfway up your back, they have the nice big three pockets, and they can unzip in the front for hot weather.

For MTB, I don't care so much about the pockets since I use the camelbak, the cut is less important since I'm more upright on the MTB, although the zipper is still nice. I overheat readily.


Agreed! I find quality jerseys make a big difference on the road. I also now only ride with zippered shirts/jerseys for ventilation. Huge difference.

And....last year, Bicycling mag had an article how Beer is actually a pretty decent recovery drink!! They also had an article about this: http://www.harpoonbrewery.com/index.cfm?pid=28553, which seems like a very cool ride!
