Anybody know where I can find a white long sleeve base layer made from merino wool? Can only seem to find them in black or from US site where it costs about £30 to post it over to the UK.
Thanks in advance.

You could try M&S merio base layers, or have a look in one the outdoor/camping shops such as Cotswold - I don't know if either do white ones, but I think that in M&S especially you are more likely to find a white/cream merino wool baselayer than if you only look at cycling specific base layers.... other than that there's always Rapha who do them in white/cream but they're not cheap. http://www.rapha.cc/merino-base-layers0

fwiw, I have the Rapha 3 pack for £90, which was excellent value....they are a top merino wool baselayer and come in cream and black, l/s or s/s0

Here you go - a company I know very well:
Their stuff is top notch - I have loads of it!

I should also add, the advantage of the Rapha is that its cut for the bike position which is a bonus when putting it on under bibs0

You could try chocolate fish merino outdoor. Got a trekmates for her indoors from Wiggle, but in grey.

+1 for the Rapha ones - they are superb: very comfortable (more so than the Endura merino I've got). And if you buy a three pack, you can choose long sleeve, short sleeve or sleeveless for a bit of variety.0 -
thanks very much everyone who answered, very helpful!
Went for the rapha ones in the end, although i wish you hadn't shown me their website, far too many nice expensive things on there, tempting0 -
You won't regret the RAPHA tops. Like a previous post, i bought 3 about 2 years ago.
Best base layer ever for me. You can push the sleeves up when it wearms up a bit too.
Quality is very good.
Some of the RAPHA stuff does look pricey, but i bought these (along with socks and waterproof cap!) and they are good value.0 -
yea, i ordered the dutch country s/s jersey from them too, very nice.
Also, should the merino base layer be tight fitting on you or a bit loose?0 -
You could have had a look at these guys

Nice stuff and not inflated prices (unlike Rapha) :roll:0 -
Says the Assos gimp!
Rapha merino baselayers are superb value for money. I've had one for over two years and it shows no signs of wear and tear despite a lot of use. For £40, it's been worth every penny.0 -

Absolutely. Main difference between Assos and Rapha is that one of those companies churn out cycling kit aimed at riders who haven't got a clue about quality or how long their kit will last . And then there is Assos .... :roll:0 -
That's a classic. Would your dad have my dad in a fight?0
