Great for this time of year, where its a bit chilly for lycra shorts, but too hot for the 3/4 thermalites (which I wear through the winter)

The FS260 top they do
http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=25665
is one of the best cycling tops I've ever used (mine is in last years colours of grey and black with white highlights).
Not tried the MT500s jim.
Is it still reasonably easy to go for a wizz in them things ?
yeh, but wringing them out after is a pain

Nice one scaredypants 🙂
Yep, theyre a tad lower than the Thermolite ones.
"Better than MT500s? "
Singletrack reckoned they are (the 1/2 length bib ones anyway). There was a shorts grouptest a few years ago (I went to reread it the other day)
Im under the impression that the MT500's are a tad warmer than the FS260 Pro's but I could be wrong. Despite the wind & rain its still fairly mild here, so the FS's are the way to go (for a few more weeks at least).
Having recently acquired the same 3/4 bibs and L/S jersey, I agree. The jersey in particular works *very* well.
I have both the f260 pro's and mt500 long tights, generally i prefer the f260, the cut and fit and the chamois are far better though my mt500's are 2-3 years old now.
For the bad weather it's hard to beat the mt500's but only if it turns really bad.
The only gripe with the f260's is the knee area, very little in the way of warmth there, i use my dhb merstons more than anything during winter.
