I need to buy some jersey for these days, for temperature about 10-15°C.

What is better choise:

Maybe something else for this price range?

    You must run cold, 10-15 degrees is a fairly high temperature to be using a thermal jersey. Just a standard long sleeve jersey with a baselayer does me at this time of year.

    Unless you don't wear a baselayer of course...

    The Wiggle one is great (I have a different design) - probably suitable for the colder end of your range but you'll be too warm at 15 degrees unless you run hot.

    Shame you didn't ask 2 weeks ago when those Chapeau ones were 40 quid. Back up to 100 now.

    For those kind of temperatures why not consider a normal jersey plus one of those Craft windstopper base layers plus some arm warmers.

    I think you may have your temperatures wrong ?

    But if you're after a LS Thermal - go for one of the DHB tops from Wiggle. Just not the tarmac coloured one. You're trying not to get run over by dozy drivers - not disappearing from view.

    10-15°C is the summer here :lol:

    I'm already in short sleeves & dispensing with the base layer by 6°C, but we're all different. What about something like an Endura FS260 Jetstream (they are on clearance at CRC just now for under £30 http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/endu ... -prod91322 & I see also at Wiggle (not shocking given they're the same company now)

    That's what I'm thinking. I bought the Sportful one just recently. Used it about 6 times in the last week or two. I'd say it's good for 6°c (with base layer) to 11°c – roughly. Its surface is bobbling a bit in a few places. Otherwise it's fine, good.

    Merlin had the Craft WS baselayers for good prices circa £25 week before last. Mind you, I get a lot of use out of a thermal jersey, a fave of mine was a Castelli Velocissimo, very breathable and the close weave finish kept some wind off as well. Now regularly using a Castelli Potenza thermal jersey/fleece jacket, with and without the WS base.

    Its not so much the cold at the moment more the wind so as above a wind proof layer will help loads, I was out in my perfetto short sleeve an some Roubaix bib shorts, I was pretty toasty to be fair, binned off the arm warmers early on.

    I am from Slovenia. I don`t know, but If you ride somewhere near the Alps the temp 10-15 is not so warm. Or maybe I am just a freezable guy... :oops:

    I will take some DHB jersey. I like the style of DHB, it is more classic.

    No, it's OK, I live in Switzerland and agree with you regarding temperatures. It's just that the Brits are crazy.

    10-15 degC is the perfect temperature range for a LS roubaix jersey in my opinion. I have the DHB Aeron roubaix jersey and it is very good.

    I just got this. Took note of comments on sizing and got the XXL (I am normally L/M 184cm, 78kg). Feels great!

    I am 180cm/78kg. On size chart I should take L.

    There were lots of complaints about them sizing up two sizes small. I think the XXL will be ok

    Bliddy europeans with their temperatures that go over 20 degrees in the summer. Grrr.

    Hm, really? Now I am confused about taking the right size. I thought that DHB has normal size...normally I wear L...

    Dhb sizes are normal. I think he's talking about Biemme?
