I’ve been wearing my Pearl isumi tops for years now and they are all black or grey so it’s about time I added some colour to my attire. Probably looking at short sleeve, any recommendations for make and where to buy?

They are expensive but i can't fault the rapha mtb range now.
Fit well and are lasting really well

Personally I'd recommend Broken Riders. Mainly bamboo riding tees, but they do have some other types. Very comfortable, nice fit - not mega tight, or too baggy.

Next year if you visit any MTB events you always find great priced jerseys!
Usually half price too or just really affordable 👍

Morvelo have a sale on at the mo. Long sleeve MTB tops half price I think.
I've got a coupke, and they're very good quality

Give Setup Brand a go. Big choice of colours/designs for a pretty top price. I have 2 s/s and L/s and They’re great for what you are paying.

it can only really be the Hackney GT mtb jerseys for me, mainly because they are desiged by a uk rider/racer and just work well for the money.
Your appreciation of leopard print may not be the same as mine though!!

I would say nip down to Mountain whorehouse ...
A wicking shirt is a wicking shirt - no matter how much mark up Rapha put on it!

TK Maxx. Millions of generic stretchy sports t-shirts in plain colours from New Balance, Adidas etc... I haven't bought an MTB jersey in years.
