Dual-Fibre Performance Knit
✷ How It Works
Why It Never Turns
Into A Wet Rag
A cotton tee soaks up sweat and hangs off you like a wet towel by the top of the first climb. A race jersey works, but you look like you got lost on the way to a podium. The Tech Tee sits in the middle.
- 1
Dual-Fibre Knit · Wicks
A cotton and polyester blend pulls moisture off your skin and into the fabric, where it evaporates far faster than a regular tee.
- 2
Structured Drape · Never Clings
The fabric holds its shape off your skin no matter how hard you are working, so it keeps wicking instead of turning sticky.
- 3
Forward Shoulder Seams · Moves
Seams sit forward of the shoulder, so nothing presses under a strap and you get full range of motion reaching for the bars.

Every Question We Get About This Tee
Answered straight. If yours is not here, email us at contact@rubbersidedown.com.au and a human replies.
Is it a jersey or a tee?
Both. It looks and feels like a quality tee, but the fabric does the job of a riding jersey: it wicks sweat, dries fast and keeps its structure when you are soaked. Ride in it hard, then wear it for the rest of the day.
How should it fit?
Relaxed fit. Roomy enough for airflow on the bike, refined enough that it does not look baggy off it. Men's and women's both run XS to 2XL. The size guide on each product page has the measurements.
Will it get heavy when I sweat?
No. The dual-fibre knit pulls moisture off your skin and into the fabric, where it evaporates far faster than cotton. The structured drape keeps it off your skin, so it does not turn into a wet, sticky mess.
What is it made from?
A lightweight cotton and polyester performance blend. You get the soft hand feel of cotton with the breathability and fast drying of a technical fabric.
Can I wear the Cargo Base Layer under it?
Yes, and that is the most popular combo we sell. The base layer carries your phone, tools and a soft flask in three rear pockets, and they stay reachable under the tee. Bundle them as a Tech Trail Pack and save up to $24.90.
Will it hold its shape?
It is built to handle sweat, dirt and repeat wear without losing its shape or feel. Wash cold and air dry to keep it that way.
How do I wash it?
Cold machine wash, air dry. Skip the dryer and the fabric softener. Both shorten the life of performance fabrics.
What is the Crash Commitment?
If you crash and damage your gear on the trail, we give you 40% off a replacement. Just send us a photo and your proof of purchase. The Tech Tee is covered. See how it works.
How fast does it ship?
Australia wide: $10 standard (4 to 7 business days) or $16 express (2 to 3 business days), and standard is free on orders over $90. A second tee gets you there. New Zealand from $12 and United States express $17 USD. All orders ship from Australia.
What if it is not right for me?
You have 30 days from delivery to request a return or an exchange. Item needs to be unworn with tags in its original packaging, and return postage is on you. Email contact@rubbersidedown.com.au and we will walk you through it.
