Hello all.

OK, love Merino, also like racing and sportives, don't like... spending loads of money.

has anyone seen a merino short sleeved race jersey with pockets in the back? Rapha, I know, but the price is steep.

I like the look of the Icebreaker Velocity one but the pocket looks a bit small for longer rides?

Help appreciated!

    I have one of these and love it. Got me through a week in the Alps.

    Shutt VR jerseys - new range includes race jerseys and they are all in a merino mix. I have the L/S one for spring but the others look great and I'll be adding one of those soon. Go down a size for a race fit.

    Don't you start gsk82! We've been down that route before... We aren't the only ones who do Sportwool jerseys out there...

    Besides with only two of us running things we'd end up posting on the forums rather than doing any real work!

    Glad you like the jersey - Pete

    ...and I'm just a satisfied customer and recent sportwool convert.

    And I like my Rapha softshell too :twisted:

    I've been impressed with jerseys from http://www.colomba.cc/ They also do a range of Sportwool jerseys. Well worth a look.
