As the title above, about to purchase my first cycling jersey with a budget about £60. Had a few in mind and need some comment about it.

By the one you like the look of.
It's only a jersey.0 -
I use Sportful base layers and they are great but I don't have any jerseys...
Castelli jerseys are top, top quality too - I have a Prologo Short Sleeve and it is pretty good. Zip is a bit stiff though IMO.0 -

Nice kit, made in UK from UK fabric and run by nice people! (eg not in one of Nikes sweatshops....)
Also, Santini make nice stuff. Have a look at Prendas website.Faster than a tent.......0 -
Depends really whether you want a full zip jersey or part zip.
Fully zipped are good for the warmer weather which looks like we're starting to get now.0 -
For £60 you could get 2 long sleeved and 3 short sleeved tops if you go for the Planet-X bargains. I have and they are pretty good.0

I'd go with the Castelli offerings, HD Prologo jerseys are excellent quality.0

I have bought some tops from www.cycle-clothing.co.uk for under £20 & have been impressed. Note - Cheapo shorts from the same place were not so good.
A few friends also use this place for their standard stuff & are all impressed by the VFM. My friend's latest order came with stitching defects on one jersey & on contacting the company, replacements were sent straight out (he even got to keep the damaged one). That's good service in my book.
I also picked up some cheap arm warmers from them & they have been excellent. Along with various base layers I have effectively extended the temp range of my short sleeved jerseys!
However, Wife bought me a Gore short sleeved jersey for my bday. She wouldnt say how much it was, but it's much nicer than the cheap ones (albeit at probably 3x the price).
