I'm after a bright (replace hi-viz vest) lightweight top (short-sleeved) and a soft-shell top for cooler (dry) mornings

I've got a 'breathable' water-resistant jacket which is way better than the nightvision for keeping cool but anything over 10C and I'm swimming... so a softshell (I think!) would be better

Recommendations?

    Above 10C?

    Baselayer, jersey and arm warmers should do.
    None of the above should be taken seriously, and certainly not personally.

    Over 10C and I'm down to a base layer T, in fact its only below about +3C am I in the softshell (and its not unknown for me to be T only with frost on the ground), although I keep the longer fingered gloves on a little longer as my generated heat doesn't really get to my fingertips!

    Softshell - Aldi's is great.

    The best top I have is a Reebok one in white, although I have a Karrimor hi-vis it's not quite as cool running.

    Have an Aldi cycling top, I stay drier standing under the shower!

    I got a Protective Kashi softshell 5 years ago....its still going strong...although I have given it a grangers treatment a couple of times.

    love it...totally waterproof.
