Long sleeve cool weather jersey without fleece?
Postby Jean » Mon Apr 15, 2013 3:30 pm
I'm wanting a long sleeve jersey that is suitable for autumn/spring riding but is not a full-on fleece lined jersey. I suppose it would have a closed weave that offers some protection from the chill, but will not turn into a sweat maker if the temperature nudges over 10 degrees. I have such a thing now, but it's ancient and near its end.
Most long sleeve jerseys these days seem to be fleece lined for winter, or super light for keeping the sun off in summer.
Suggestions?
Cheers

Use armwarmers - roll 'em down or take 'em off if you get too hot.Jean wrote:Suggestions?

I use the 'Bergler' for cool days, and the 'baked alaska' when it gets cold. Good for low to mid single digit temps.

They would be too warm. I use them as baselayers in winter when it gets down into the minuses.Sparx wrote:What about a polypro thermal top? They're pretty cheap, not cycling specific but could do the job.
The Monton "thermal" jerseys might be suitable, they are pretty lightweight for a thermal jersey though they do have fleece inside. I wore one this morning when it was 9.4 degrees

A possibility, but I've always found arm warmers such a PITA. Hadn't thought of merino, with looking into.RonK wrote:Use armwarmers - roll 'em down or take 'em off if you get too hot.Jean wrote:Suggestions?

They are far more versatile in spring/autumn weather when temps are variable. Good ones are made from super roubaix, not merino.Jean wrote:A possibility, but I've always found arm warmers such a PITA.

Yeah, no I was thinking merino LS jersey, not arm warmers. If I went for warmers again I'd certainly stick with super roubaix.RonK wrote: They are far more versatile in spring/autumn weather when temps are variable. Good ones are made from super roubaix, not merino.

I have a couple of Ground Effect Median Strip jerseys. This is their short sleeve merino jersey. It's a very comfortable fabric against the skin. Wore them in EnZed last year (with GE arm warners) and a Jetson gilet. Going back in June so I'm going to get another before I go.Jean wrote:Yeah, no I was thinking merino LS jersey, not arm warmers.

Have you thought of wearing an under shirt with a normal jersey and arm warmers?Jean wrote:Hi,

That would be too hot I think. I'm looking for a long sleeve jersey that has a tight enough weave that I can wear it (usaully with a gilet) when I ride out on cool morning to keep the worst of the chill at bay (at say 7-12 degrees) and still be comfortable weraing it later when the temperature rises ( to say 12-16 degrees) and I take off the gilet. As I said I have a jersey that fits the bill now, but it's on its last legs.jacks1071 wrote:Have you thought of wearing an under shirt with a normal jersey and arm warmers?Jean wrote:Hi,

I have light short sleeve jerseys and fleece lined long sleeve jerseys for Canberra winters, but I'm looking for something in-between.

It's faded a bit, and the arms aren't very warm but it cast me $30 and it fits very well. The zipper feels a bit fragile, so I'd be wary of unzipping it all the way repeatedly.
Good for temperature ranges between 14-18 degrees.

You can get them in different thicknesses.

Arm warmers are your friend, PG.__PG__ wrote:I'll wear a short-sleeve for 16 degrees and up. However, if its 16 degrees in the valley and 12 up on the hill, that complicates matters.

Riding in the hills is a pain in the arse from a clothing point of view. A few times I've made it out to Hurstbridge and I've hit a major inversion and had to take off my tights and tie them around my waist.
Or two weekends ago it was quite warm in Bayswater so I set off to the Dandenongs with the long-sleeve jersey in question but just shorts. Was fine around Ferny Creek but coming up from Kalista to Olinda I came across a cold pool of air...brrrr.
Needless to say there are many times its been 8 degrees and drizzling at the top of Kinglake but 16 and sunny in Eltham.
I need a good pair of leg warmers I've decided.
