i am looking for a merino wool top with rear pockets, long sleeves and without big logos across the chest and brighter colours, as i feel that bit safer in a bright colour . there is one in ctc mag with 3 rear pockets which looks like the thing but it has short sleeves and" cyclists' touring club" in full letters across the front. i think i've also see one with "brooks" emblazoned across the chest. i suspect rapha do something but haven't looked because of their prices.
so in summary i would like merino top with rear pockets and long sleeves but a cooler thickness, so that i can wear just the top in spring/ summer when on day rides and particularly when touring. (long sleeves prevent sunburnt arms).
i've done a search of this site and looked in the main online shops, but can't find anything. has anyone bought something like this?

Not cheap, but superb quality - I have a couple of their jerseys and makes Rapha stuff look cheap and nasty.Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..0 -
I found this eBay shop selling wool jerseys - Convicts of The Road. This might be a silly question, but is knitted and wool the same thing?

Ground Effect? This one is a merino/nylon mix- I have a top in the heavier weight version of this material and like it a lot. Colors aren't the brightest though:

Definitely worth a look, only takes a week or so to arrive.0 -
I do like the look of that top - Colours are a tad limited - do I go for ninja black, or go for the silver option ? Hmmmmmmmm....0

They are rather stylish - but rather pricey compared to the NZ ones.
Have ordered the NZ one in Silver - so hopefully will get to give it a run next weekend.0 -
+1 for Ground Effect.0

The baked alaska thing looks great value too. Hmmmmmmm. If they got the colour scheme sorted - it would be fantastic.0

The Solo jersey mentioned above is nice, but too thick to wear in summer.0 -
