Moisture Wicking Airies Micro
Plus fabric
Micro Plus fabric uses different sized synthetic
filaments to create a soft, comfortable feel.
These macro and micro fibers’ unique shapes
siphon moisture away from your skin to the
outside face of the fabric. There, a waffle-like
surface texture increases the surface area thus
speeding evaporation, leaving you cool, and
oh-so-stylishly dry.
Micro Plus utilizes a mechanical wicking process, thanks to
those multi-sized fibers, and can never wash away or wear out
like chemical treatments which many other jersey fabrics use.
Tequila Jersey
Tequila is our worm-free homage to great label
design. “Tequila tonight, tomorrow we ride.”
Raise your glass to good times, great rides,
and true friends. Salsa reminds you to ride
responsibly.

Pepperman Wants You Jersey
Bikes, Peace, and Peppers! Can I get an
Amen? Or a Yah Mon!
Pepperman Wants You is our call for a
little peace, love, and understanding.
It’s a rasta-powered concoction that
gets to the heart of the matter, our
desire for a more peaceful world, filled
with bikes, and yes…peppers!

Cooking Up Salsa Jerseys
Salsa Jerseys have become collectibles for many bicycling fans. Each year
we cook up one or two new designs and send a couple existing designs into
semi-retirement.
The whole process is a lot like making a fresh batch of chili from scratch.
A little tomato paste here, a little garlic there.
We enjoy building a little sophisticated fun into our jerseys. There’s
a lot of attention to details and time spent on small design elements
and fun, little things that you might miss if you don’t look closely.
For the last eight years our jerseys have been designed by Salsa’s
graphic designer, Wes Stobbe. Each season we have a brainstorm
session where we toss around different jersey ideas. Of course,
there are a few brain farts as well, but eventually, we whittle that
list down and have a few jersey ideas to proceed with.
Wes starts out with some pencil sketches of his concepts and then
we all start adding ingredients. As ingredients are added, and taken
away, Wes refines his pencil sketches a bit further. Once we think a
design is really progressing he adds some color.
All of this necessitates a lot of back and forth design work which is
almost as much fun as the final product. We hope you enjoy our
newest Salsa jersey creations. We
enjoy cooking them up for you.
