Hi.
I'm currentyly having lots of issues trying to find a suitable LS Jersey for riding in the chillier mornings, at a 48" chest, but 6ft8 tall. I try and avoid skin tight where possible.
Ive tried a few out, including dhb 3xl and some other cheapy ones (£20-£40), but I just can't find anything comfortable that is properly wicking. I normally ride in a basic, loose short sleeve muddy fox top that is a good ten years old, but it could also do with replacing..

Does anyone gave any specifix personal recommendations from a similar size? I'm considering ordering £500s worth of stuff to try in one go and return any that doesn't fit, but its a hassle to do.

For reference, my waterproof is a 2009 altura night vision in 3xl, and that still rides up when really giving welly, but at least it's loose enough to allow breathing.

Thanks!

    I usually wear a proper base layer (like Helly Hanson type things) and my loose short sleeve over top. But I hate baggy long sleeves as I usually find them too long for my t-rex arms.
