just tried mine on. Very nice 🙂

I probably wouldn't ride in it tbh - too good.

for less than £30 you can't go wrong.

got one today, tried it on but not ridden in it yet. Looks really nice in green, buttons on the back pockets!, sized up a bit big, but obviously it's not been washed. Feels like a casual rather than racer cut, if that makes sense.
Wouldn't feel out of place wandering round town with it on, or down the pub.

Really tempted to get a second one...

Got a link? I can only see long sleeved jerseys at 55 quid on the site.

There is a 'geometry' page for sizing!

Looks well made. The knit doesn't look as dense as my other Merino, but this makes it ideal with a thin base layer. With a Pertex top it would cover a lot of situations.

Already got two excellent Nike merino tops, tempted by one of these also.

Ordered mine Sunday afternoon, received it today (Friday). 🙂

Same as [i]epicyclo[/i] said, the knit isn't as dense as my other merino jerseys (which are a merino/polyester mix anyway), but it's got a nice old skool woollen jersey vibe about it, what with the buttons on the pockets and the flock lettering. Probably end up using it more on the road than off, but I'm going to give it a go on both to see how it performs.

Mine came today - XL in black. Initial impression is that it's very nice indeed; it'll be a shame to ride in it (but I will!).

The fit is spot on for me (slightly larger rider at 6'2" and 14.5 stone).

I'm seriously tempted to get a racing green one before the offer runs out tomorrow.

Hmmm. looks like I got the right size in merino (XXL) but my 2 T shirts are gonna be tight. Santa has ordered them in XL and I've got 2 stone on you timothecimmerian.

I'm sure the merino will be fine, can't comment on the t-shirts though!

First run out for mine yesterday on Ed-O's skills day in a rather soggy Gisburn Forest. Really pleased, worked well over a base layer and under a windproof (both Paramo) - got a bit damp, but stayed nice and cozy without overheating. 🙂

Too nice to ride in! I ordered mine one lunchtime and it arrived the following day - can't argue with that. Unfortunately the muppets at royal snail have 'lost' my cycle to work scheme docs on the way to On-one for my ti 456 frame. Rats cocks.

i got one of these last week and was wondering. Merino sposed to be lovely and warm next to skin. So is it better to wear without a base layer? Or is it still lovely and toasty however you wear it?
