It's not pure wool - it's a wool blend similar to Shutt VR's - quicker drying than straight merino, 'shinier', and not at all scratchy. The finishing and detailing is superior to Shutt's.

Ive just bought a Gore Windstopper Gillet XL that just fits - and im not exactly huge - was thinking of XXL for a long sleeved warm top - are you saying that the one you got came out oversized in a large
No. I think the description on the website was accurate on the sizing. I gambled it might not be and lost. As Vickster said, it was relatively long in the arms and relatively wide in the shoulders so it would suit someone more triangular than parallellogram. They do three different fits and the one I got was the comfort fit.

Planet X had some really odd sizes
I have an 'On-One White Rose jersey, & a medium flaps about like a flag in a force 5 (& fits me like a bin-liner)
Conversely I have one of their 'winter jerseys' (warm enough to wear as a jacket) & a large is tighter than my small Giordana clothing

It ain't just cycle clothing. In regular clothes I'm a 2XL, but depending where I buy might fit an XL through to 3XL.
I have the same problem sometimes where it's the cut rather than the overall size that buggers it up. I'm fairly triangular, so straight-up-and-down jersies don't work. My biggest problem though is with gloves as the fingers tend to be too long. For S and Gs last month I tried on a pair of XL Liv gloves. They fitted perfectly but were very pink and flowery.
DHB stuff arrived today. The large fits in most ways. Too long in the arms but good in body and shoulders. Reasonable quality, so I'll probably stick with it. I'm so used to the baggy ill fitting Aldi stuff that I can't quite judge how it feels until I use it. Feels very warm, so I might have to go down to two layers.
Looks good. Stylish, but not wannabe Rapha. One question though - does it have rear pockets? It's difficult to tell from the pic. I'm all about zips and pockets.
I've wondered about the wiggle stuff but never hit the buy button. I'm not precious; I've got stuff all the way from Aldi to Assos, but I've always found a reason to buy something else (usually Mrs Dr Bollo stuffing a ton in my moobs and saying "buy yourself something nice").
Three vertical rear and one sideways zipped. Narrowish pockets and deeper than other jerseys I've had. Reflective patch on the middle pocket, full length zip on the front.
Oh yeah. Now I've used it for a bit I should say the pockets are a pain. Bit too high to comfortably reach and tight so anything other than flat feels like someone is shoving a stick in your back. And the reason I was re-visiting this thread was to remind myself of the recommendations whilst I look for a summer jersey. Probably not DHB for the pocket reason.
No!!Are you sure that it is not your arms are too short for your body diameter?

Are you sure you don't want to reconsider that answer?
(Remember that I have met you, Yes; and next time we met you're gonna get a McSmacko, if my arms will reach, you walking runner bean you.Are you sure you don't want to reconsider that answer?PorkyCrax...)
In other news; I haven't found a summer jersey yet.
