Is it just me or is there a bit fo a lack of t-shirt style* jerseys? It's either XC jerseys or long sleved raceing pyjamas.

Is it some kind of fassion faux pas? just realised the jersey I probably wear the most is an old 90's DH top with the sleves cut off.

*but long enough to cover my arse

For short sleeves, I normally either just wear a standard T-shirt, or if there's a bit of pedalling/sweating, a simple plain breathable t-shirt from decathlon/mountain warehouse etc.

Fox Soleed is quite good, not as good as the old Poacher mind but still good.

Lots of this type of thing from Fox, think a lot of companies are now releasing "trail" or "all mountain" short sleeve jersey that are a bit baggier than the skin-tight XC ones.

Last week I got 3 plain breathable Dare2be Boardbreak t- shirts off Ebay for £26 delivered. Sounds like the sort of thing you're after.

Annoys me as well, when your already a xxl, getting something to go over body armour is a pain in the proverbial, and the 3/4 sleeves are just annoying. I have a couple I have just cut the sleeves down on, as I just couldn't find anything suitable.

Really? There's a website called Chain Reaction that you should check out.

Use it to search for tops made by Sombrio, Race Face, Fox, Troy Lee Designs etc.

Fox Soleed is quite good

I ordered one of those in my size (according to the size guide) from Evans, was only a tenner or so. Biggest item of clothing I've ever seen arrived - I could have bivvied in it for a night.

I just wear Berghaus tech t's. I've found mtb branded stuff is too baggy/made for fat biffers, even a size small royal jersey swamps me and I'm not even as skinny as some! I found the same with TLD stuff as well.

As others have said, you can't have been looking too hard 😉

Raceface do a load, as does TLD with the moto jersey's.

Those are what I tend to use, as I end up pushing the sleeves up on the long sleeve PJ tops.

For gnarly stuff I want something with sleeves long enough to cover the silly gaps above my elbow pads - so I got a Royal 3/4 sleeve from CRC, which I reckon doesn't come too close the DH/MX pyjama look.

just search CRC for sombrio, dakine, royal etc. and have a scroll through the jerseys for something not too garish :mrgreen:

Buy yes, otherwise just choose a t-shirt.

Your inbox is bouncing my e-mails, some sort of timing error, just comes back with 20 pages of gobbledegook and an error message.
I meant to post them on Saturday but didn't get home before the postoffice shut so posting them this morning.

Rest assured I've not fled to Equador to live out the rest of my days very slowly sipping a G&T bought with your £30 :p

Cheers mate, not sure why hotmail is doing that.

I'll look forward to getting them soon. Cheers
