I have two of these. They are expensive but lovely.
Comfortable: warm when it's cool and cool when it's warm.
Durable too and sleeves can be pulled up to elbow level. I prefer this to short sleeves.
 
I would look at Howies.

I'm done with cheap (£10-£40) synthetic jerseys. They are okay to begin with but after a reasonable number of washes they really start to stink. Washing them gets them clean, but all that stuff they put in them to make them wick I think washes off and so they are less effective. And because they are man-made they really do stink. Bacteria love them.

So these days I'll wear anything on my top half.

If money were no object I would look at merino wool and other natural wicking fabrics. Or maybe try some more expensive jerseys to see if they really are better.

Right, so it seems like as with the shorts, the jerseys are probably worth paying a bit more for. Has anyone tried the Endura FS260 pro range? I've got the shorts, may as well have a go with the matching jerseys.

i bought a "ground effect" lightweight merino top. it is not so stylish but workmanlike competent (just like me). i wanted one for touring and rear pockets were a priority. i thought it might get a bit itchy when i first put it on but but it hasn't done so. it has merino and some polyester mix fibre which they say is harder wearing; i think that makes it less smell resistant and i had to wash it after 3 days on a recent tour; it did dry very quickly. still with pure polyester it is wash daily or smell. they are a nice, helpful company to deal with. i hoped it would go longer without a wash but overall i am satisfied

For me only because the original top I had is getting a bit overused, and the latest addition I got ended up being too tight around my arms. If you can get some CC ones in soon then I wont have to get another stop-gap top!

I won't be paying attention to requests on this thread. What I'll do is make a thread soon with a multi choice poll where people can write their wants.
