Anybody got one of these?

I am fancying either the "Superia" or "Faema" for commuting in, are they tight, or loose fit?

    I bought the yellow planet X long sleeve top for £15 I think it was the other week. Perfect.
    What more do you need from a top ?

    Still some stock left too

    £90 :shock:

    That's an expensive jumper!

    I got 5 of the Planet X bargains for £60, 3 for me and 2 for son.

    I blame on the BMW sportive riders, yes more money than yes you know.
    Be more versatile with a pair of these.... http://www.jejamescycles.co.uk/altura-r ... 58734.html

    The peloton don't wear long sleeve jerseys they just add arm warmers when needed and roll them up and down or even take them off when it gets to warm and even keep pedalling :!:

    I must admit that I just don't get the whole woolly jumper for cycling thing. No good in the wet (and holds moisture once wet), no good for wicking sweat which it would generate by the bucket load. Not much cop for repeated washing and prone to stretching. Won't keep the wind out. Bulky so no chance of stashing away when overheating. Then again, they look good.

    I know they used to wear them in the old days but they also did a few other things then that don't appeal to me now.

    I have just bought myself a nice retro style Peugeot/Shell top (made by Santini out of modern fabrics), lovely, lovely :)

    The reviews on Wiggle tell a story, especially the following quote: "Performance as a cycling jersey is not it's strong point, but then why would it be??"
    I got the Planet X-On One merino short sleeve for about £16 and it's ideal for overcast days. Go with that or one of the long sleeve Planet X tops is my advice.
