Want a s/s roadie top with rear pockets so I can put pump, tube, gel, phone etc in.
Fancy a new one but my Phantom with the sleeves taken off ticks the box...just wonder if even worn with nothing underneath it might run hot as it's Windstopper (which will get sweaty and effect breathability).
Or should I buy a nice lightweight s/s jersey? Decisions, decisions...

Phantom would definitely be too warm for me.

The Phantom will be far to warm.

I have a phantom - its too warm for that. However, Altura's transformer is much cooler and I've just completed a ride betweem 6pm and 9pm with that with sleeves off and a craft ls base. It come in flouro too for commutes/rides in traffic.

My phantom is the best piece of kit I own. I never wear anything under it even in the mid winter ( mtb and road). The sleeves are currently unzipped mid ride and in late spring/ early summer I will give it a rest and hang it up. It's to warm in the sun cycling hills. Buy a nice new top.

Anyone got any DHB gear off Wiggle?
Seen a top that does the job - gets good reviews - their stuff if meant to be functional if not 'aspirational' isn't it...it's that or the Sportful top I actually want at double the price ๐Ÿ˜•

I've had DHB bib shorts and longs for quite a few years, never had any problems with them.
