Lightweight, windproof ish top?

Evening.

I hope I explain this ok....

I’ve been using a sportful long sleeve top for a few years but it needs replacing. ( they don’t do this model anymore. )
It’s a really thin top that I’d wear over a gilet and arm warmers whilst I warmed up as I tend to leave the house quite early, whilst it’s still a bit parky.

So, I’m looking for recommendations for something lightweight, some wind proofing but not necessarily offering any water resistant properties and something that doesn’t sound or feel like a pocket of crisps!

Budget is flexible around £100.

Cheers Stuart.

    Castelli squadra? Might be a bit crisp packety when on and is a little water resistant but it's a packable windproof. Or their Superleggera is a more expensive version of the same idea.

    Sportful Hotpack.

    Galibier also seem to do something similar.

    It's quite specific what you are after.

    I've recently been impressed with some merino blend products, in that they have kepy my trunk warm pretty effectively:

    That could be worth a look, and is bang on budget.

    I also really like my midweight Castelli SS jersey, but not sure if they do a LS version, perhaps Chpt3 do.

    I have to say if my torso got realyl cold though, I would simply look at one of the raft of gilets that are available, and the bonus with them is that breathability is not AS important.

    I have a softspot for the Castelli Fondo, but I suspect that is too insulated for what you want.

    I would have said Dotout are well worth a look, but it seems that Wiggle/CRC have sold all of their heavily discounted stock - they have a fair few with a merino blend.



    Good luck!
