These came out a couple winters back and seemed to have gone unnoticed in favour of other more trendy/ expensive offerings. Altura Esker Trail Jersey , I bought one at what I thought was a bargain price about £35 last winter against a retail of £55 which considering the main body is Polartec Powergrid Bike Radar said that was a bargain . For example the equivalent Rapha offering is over £100 !
Now idly scrolling watching the rain Cyclestore have them in a light grey for £20 posted ! If you prefer a nicer colour 99 Bikes have it in Navy for another tenner , I’m going to have to turn the internet off before I buy another one ! 🙄
Be warned though as I said they are seriously warm fine when it’s bloody freezing or you ride an E Bike 😘
Because apparently copy and paste is too hard...
Explanation for the more elderly among us would help, we can't all be good at everything 😞🙄 especially since lately I've been unable to post photos when I was able to before, same phone different outcome, so me and tech don't see eye to eye 🤔🙄
When you are looking at the offer, look at the part of your web browser where you type web addresses in. Copy what’s there (highlight it all, then press ctrl & C)
Then come here, type your post and at the end of it, paste the link (press ctrl & V).
The forum will do the rest.
Like that you mean ? Done on my I Pad , took a bit of 68 year old head scratching but I think it worked?
Just like that, yes
Only the large and extra large are going for £27.50.
They are really stretchy so quite a range in those 2 sizes 👍
Does anyone know if the size guide accurate on these? Recent Altura purchases have been inconsistent..
Well I bought a Large probably could have got away with a medium as I'm no Mr Universe 😞

Perhaps less of a good thing for a medium fit which is a shame as I prefer the navy to the grey.
Most the altura stuff is underrated if you ask me. They sell on Amazon and things often go for a silly low price. I like the esker trousers and I paid £22 when I got them on Amazon.
I'll just point out that there's an alternative or three, in more colours and subjectively nicer colours.

Picked up a Small/Blue jersey for £21.50 from Amazon;

And a Twister jacket for £50:

I've got the older Rapha jumper in the same fabric with windproof arms. Bought in the sale I hasten to add.
I wear it commuting when it's too cold for a tshirt but not cold enough for a jacket or colde enough for a mid layer under a soft shell. So 7 to 14 degrees for me. Late September to December and march to June. And 4 and below under a jacket.
It wicks impressively fast and is lovely and toasty on a cold winter morning.
Seems an excellent fabric for riding about

But no Medium...
euian where did you see £14.95 postage?
Just gave in and nabbed. Blue size Large , extra 10% with CLOTHING10 almost paid for postage then PayPal had given me £25 for using them recently , still had £14 left so ended up just over £14 👍👍👍👍

Carbon and grey in various sizes at £32 with free next day if you have Prime. Can't post a link as I found it via the app.
augustuswindsock I'm going to have to join you chanting that mantra 😞
Thanks for the (original) PSA, I bought 2 and free carriage 🙂
Bought one in the light grey and a pair of those 30squid altura trousers posted a few weeks ago.
Another alternative - £30 for merino (blend), so soft and lovely to wear (if you're one of those brave souls signed up to SportPursuit - and delivery in time for Crimbo on these)

On 99 bikes - maybe because I'm inconsiderate enough to live north of Perth? 🙄
Got a blue one from Amazon £22:49. XXL. Last one. The other sizes were more expensive. Worth a try at that price for really cold weather.
Just had a refund from 99 Bikes as the blue jersey is no longer available 😞
Thanks @oldfart for the recommendation
Just received my top today
It’s a high quality garment at a low value price of less than £20
Very comfortable and will have me looking forward to being warm on cold weather days on the bike
Under £20 all-in?
YOINK!
Only the large and extra large are going for £27.50.
Perfect for most of the demographic here then!
Thanks for PSA - mine arrived today, feels nice bit of kit. Now just to wait for santa to formally deliver it
