Sadly the gabba stuff, from the searches I've done, is more than (the wife says) I can spend.

Good looking well designed kit though.

Update - the Torm T8 turned up. Perfect fit - fitted but not race-tight. I'm in a small and am 5'8", 10st, 36" chest. Arms are a perfect length too. Rode on the mtb just now in 12 deg, so no gilet and only a mesh vest baselayer. Spot on. I can see me living in this on the bike during the autumn/winter/spring with a variation in baselayers and shell/gilet as needed.

Good timing yak, thanks for the update, I had emailed torn this morning and they were very helpful, my reservation being that wind would whistle through like the merino tops I've worn in the past, so I'm quite tempted myself.

But now I need to start a 'what Gillet' thread.

Yes - I phoned Torm before ordering to check sizing. Very helpful.

Wind goes through like a polyester top, so a bit better than a merino. Not an issue today at mtb speeds, but if was on the road I would have worn a gilet.

if you are looking at the likes of the Torm T8, also worth looking at the Howies version:

I got one of these the other day. As you say, it will need a windproof gilet for much use on road below around 12 degrees I reckon.

Mine will be used off road beneath a shell on wet days

I just don't get gilets. If my body's cold my arms will be. Tried one, no use whatsoever.

SportPursuit have Helly Hensen (amongst others) merino tops for £30. Worth a look (quick dispatch on the HH as the sale's almost over)
not sure if this pic'll work:
