Long-sleeved Summer Jersey?

Looking for a lightweight, full zip, long-sleeved jersey for summer rides. Does such a beast exist?

They sure do. I've just picked up an ASSOS long sleeved light weight jersey. Keeps the sun off your arms, without sun cream sliding down you arms!

Not cheap. But well made and in my opinion, worth every penny.

Cheap but not full length zip

Mavic make great summer, 25c +, jerseys.

They make sleevless full zip jerseys, short sleeve full zip jerseys and long sleeve full zip jerseys.

I have the first two, they are great.

Well I suppose he may be able to wear it next year. Or he's possibly moving overseas.

The Shutt VR is a fantastic jersey, probably suited to three seasons, but too warm for the hottest summer days (not that we've had many of those !).

Have a look at this though, http://www.wiggle.co.uk/castelli-prologo-hd-long-sleeve-jersey/ it's essentially a lightweight long sleeved summer jersey. Just be careful with the sizing, you need to go at least a size larger than you usually would.

I have a jersey by "Tenn" meets your criteria plus it is made from reconstituted coffee grounds or something like that! No bullsh1t...
It is no different from any other polyester type jersey material....

Cost about £12 in a special offer earlier in the year from Amazon, I think normal Amazon price is still under 20.

Our club kit is made by Endura, we have a long sleeve version of a full zip summer jersey, same thickness as regular jersey etc.

Thanks for the responses (well most of them).

To elaborate, I'm looking for a lightweight, long-sleeved top that I can wear over my short-sleeved top on summer mornings and that I can remove when the day gets warmer. Both my long-sleeved tops are too warm for this, and my lightweight long-sleeved showerproof isn't breathable.

Cheers.

I have one of these too. Great quality, lightweight, wear mine in the winter though

Good as an extra layer over a short sleeve jersey.

Made with recycled coffee beans as coffee is a de-odouriser, coffee is used to mask the smell of drugs by drug smugglers, wear your jersey to the airport and really mess with the sniffer dogs!

Get some Assos summer arm warmers/protectors

Thanks - that looks like it might fit the bill. And about £800 less than the Assos (give or take). Cheers!

I think you're looking for something called 'arm-warmers'

£7 -> http://www.wiggle.co.uk/dhb-seamless-arm-warmers/

Just make sure you don't get the warmer roubaix lined type.

Someone who thinks it's appropriate to prefix a ride with a swim and suffix the same ride with a run.

It's not appropriate.

Thanks for the clarification Ben6899, let me assure you I have no intention of trianteloping, just trying to keep cool and move the tan lines
