Bit of a steal at the reduced price of £9.99. I've had one for a couple of years and it's the only riding top I have that hasn't started to smell after repeated use (I do wash them!). They're not a skinny, roady type top and come up quite baggy - for me at 6ft and 12.5/13 stone a large is spot on.
I've just bought a couple more (and an inner tube to get it over £20 for the free postage 😉 )

Only problem with Bamboo is that it takes an age to dry.....

These seem ok - as they're a polyester mix they dry pretty quickly out of the washing machine or when they're sweaty. Can't say I've noticed them staying wetter than other tops.

showing as £8.33 for me, with the SUN10 code taking it down to £7.50
I really don't need anymore riding tops though so will leave for someone else to take advantage of

edit - was curious so went through to checkout - £8 delivery if you just buy one!!!

Review here http://www.bikeradar.com/gear/category/clothing/t-shirts/product/review-altura-mayhem-bamboo-whoosh-t-shirt-13-47389/

Gives the shirt a good review. Ordered three to get over the £20 minimum for free delivery.

Price starts low, but when address added VAT is added for UK delivery, so jumps a bit. 3 tees for just under £27 not too bad. £9 each delivered.

Thanks for posting.

Cheers for posting
Excellant tops - but wearing mine for numerous rides over that last 4 years but my wife has started to complain that they smell - hardly suprising given how much use they've had, so time to replace

As said above, they are baggy - at 6'4 I'm normally an XL in t-shirts, but L with these

All worked - L was spot on (if baggy) but plenty long enough

Picked up two, and a bottle cage (how retro) to get to the £20 for P&P

Thanks OP

My 2 arrived today with my free-shipping-addition of metal tyre levers... So retro...

I usually end up with a large, but a medium in these is great. Cheers!

If they are big fitting do you think a size small would be like a normal medium ?

shaungero - yes.

I've bought a small and its fitted, rather than big.

I went for an XL and it is a bit big but I reckon bamboo clothing will shrink a bit
