Jett Hornet Jersey
The Good

solid construction

The Bad

thicker fabric can get a bit hot

Overall Review
I've been using Jett's Hornet jersey on and off for the past two years and have found it to be a keeper. Each piece of clothing has it's own characteristics, not that they are good or bad in and of themselves. This jersey is made of a somewhat thicker fabric with perforated mesh holes to aid in breathability. The fabric is stitched well and has survived a couple of my minor tumbles and shown only minor damage. A couple of snags have appeared over the years and this could be due to scraping rocks or even a dreaded velcro scrape. Since it is a little heavier duty than many of the other jerseys I...

Jett Ride Jersey
The Good

Stylish Looks Comfortable Roomy cut

The Bad

Expensive Buttons snaps are weak Fabric prone to abrasion damage

Overall Review
I love how this jersey looks. it has a slightly distressed finish with pin stripes. The breast pocket is really small and hard to utilize. Not sure of what would fit in there well. The biggest fault is the buttons coming loose really easily. The material looks like it'd get torn up by body armor and backpack shoulder straps too. 4.5 stars since there's nothing really quite like it, but it's not perfect. Would really like to see more jerseys like this.

Jett Draken Short
Vital Review
Overall Review
At first glance these shorts look pretty basic, but sometimes simple is a good thing. The Jett Drakens are made with a polyester spandex chassis, and feature dual pockets, an adjustable waist closure, and sublimated graphics. Things We Love There's a fair amount to like about the Draken shorts, but what stands out the most is the material. It's very lightweight, and the breathability and freedom this allows is a huge bonus for hot days or epic all-mountain rides. There are no zippered vents on these shorts, but we're not sure they're needed given how well they vent. The material is also very...

Jett Raptor Short
The Good

Zip vents, lots of pockets (some zipped), soft fabric on the front/top of the quad area and waist without stitching to prevent chafing, secure double snap fly, waist cinch, well contoured cut around waist, awesome construction quality

The Bad

Chamois fits a bit odd. Short fly. Pockets are a bit shallow. Inseam doesn't quite reach the knee.

Overall Review
This model is their XC offering. Not perfect, but significantly better than any other short in this general price range that I've tried. The first pair I grab for going on rides with lots of pedaling. Unbelievably comfy and relatively good looking. It has a supple shell, with a soft hand and a high TPI like weave that feels softer than the Jett Hornet (AM model; ) and the Lightning (DH model). The inseam comes down to about 3" above the knee in 28" and leaves that large amount of skin, in the area between my knee/shin pads and the bottom of the short legs, that typically gets covered by other...

Thanks to you and others who have commented on the chamois being a bit big, we slimed it down for 2011.

The Bad

Sorry for the inconvenience.

As for the thunder thighs, we do have some steep hills here in Fort Collins!

Jett Strike Short
The Good

Quality material and build. Cheap for short/chamois combo

The Bad

Ordered the 32". The short fit well but the chamois was far too large. It fit my brother whose 35". Kudos to Jett for sending me another chamois FOC but this one didn't fit me as well.

Overall Review
Suitable for thunder thighs ONLY!
