Hi is there such a thing as a lightweight long sleeve summer jersey? Most of the ones I see have fleece on in the inside. Any recommendations? Cheers

    Yes - I have a few. A Sportful Pista, a Pactimo, and DHB Aeron (though quite an old model).

    A few I can think of are:
    https://www.wiggle.co.uk/castelli-prologo-vi-long-sleeve-fz-jersey/
    https://www.wiggle.co.uk/morvelo-damaged-ls-jersey/ (lots of other similar designs)
    or Rapha pro team aero

    But seriously... just buy short sleeves and arm warmers. I virtually never wear any of mine because short sleeves and arm warmers are just miles more versatile. I have loads of different arm warmers from thick softshell material to super light lycra and you can adjust a jersey to the conditions much easier using them; alternatively ditch the warmers altogether later in the ride once you / conditions warm up.

    I'd agree with this. DhB and Rapha both do arm screens that give UV protection, as opposed to warmth (though my DhB arm screens are enough for to keep off a spring/summer morning chill).
