Wild Rye

Frequently Asked Questions

• What fabrics and technologies does Wild Rye use in its performance pieces?

  Wild Rye favors recycled polyester, Tencel/Lyocell, merino blends (about 11% in some jerseys), and stretch blends with spandex for breathability and mobility. Signature fabrics include Chill Out (76% recycled poly, 19% Tencel, 5% spandex) for soft quick-dry tees and ultralight stretch nylon with a PFAS-free DWR for wind- and water-resistance in pieces like the Rustler Windbreaker.
• How does Wild Rye design for fit and inclusivity across body types?

  The brand uses generous, roomy cuts and shape-inclusive patterning tested in real mountain conditions, offering inclusive size runs (for example, sizes 0–14 on many styles) to accommodate diverse bodies. Designs prioritize comfort and confidence—oversized tees like the Mackay Crop, extended cuffs, and adjustable hems—so pieces layer well on and off the bike.
• Which Wild Rye pieces are best for mountain biking and variable mountain weather?

  For chilly or windy rides the Rustler Windbreaker is ideal—ultralight stretch nylon with adjustable hood and hem to block wind without restricting movement. For pedal-first days, their bike shorts and merino-blend jerseys provide breathability and odor control, while Chill Out tees make versatile, quick-dry base layers for warm efforts or cool descents.
