I want to buy a couple for commuting duties so don't need anything fancy - I have been looking but can't find any for under £25 on my size (Large or XL)

Anyone knows of any good deals going?

    You should have got some from Aldi last month - cheap and perfect for commuting. I suppose some stores might have the odd one or two left over.
    More problems but still living....

    Wiggles DHB Merston is a fiver over your budget but would do pretty well I think.

    Personally, instead of getting a couple of cheap ones, I'd invest all the budget in one merino L/S jersey (or a long sleeve merino baselayer under jacket) - as they don't pong, you can wear every day and safe yourself a lot of washing.

    There are some ebay sellers based in Hong Kong and Korea that have some low cost stuff. I've had a couple of short sleeved ones from Hong Kong over the summer which have been good and am waiting for a long sleved one from Korea to arrive at the moment. The designs are unusual on all of them and none have cost me over £20 including delivery.

    Have a look here as they seem to get good reviews on they kit if they have your size in.

    shame that they haven't - I am a bit cheesed off as the cheapest I can find is at least £35 on my size.

    I found quite a few around the £30 mark, cycle sports UK have some for £29.35 (http://www.cyclesportsuk.co.uk/product_ ... mpcPath=82), Total cycling for £34 (http://www.totalcycling.com/index.php/p ... BLACK.html).

    Just do a search and you'll find options.

    I have seen those thanks - to be honest the choice is much easier once you get to the £30 mark.

    If there are for commuting duties, you could have a look at Lidl's as they still have lots near me but not sure where you are and if they had them near you.

    I have one of these

    which is brill - looks good and feels very well made.

    Dont be put off by the XXL - I am normally between L and XL and this fits me fine.
    I have the blue but I see the red meets your budget.

    Thanks for the replies guys - I saw that top and the sizing put me off (XXL stands for somewhere between a 45 and 48 chest!!!)

    Anyway got a brand new Nico Sport top from eBay for £15! and also got some stuff from a website called www.tenn-outdoors.co.uk that is quite good value too (similar prices to Lidl, Aldi stuff)
