[url= http://www.decathlon.co.uk/longsleeve-cycle-baselayer-3-id_8217439.html ]these ones[/url] any good ? At £8.50 a go I think I'll have a couple for under a SS jersey these slightly cooler rides. Not expecting full winter warmth..

Decathlon is a tricky place to pop into... there's loads of stuff you don't need but can see a reason to buy 😛

If you see any 700/900 series padded bibs in the sale, they're v.comfy

I bought one of their Ski base layers last year as it was cheaper than the cycling specific one's at the time, it's a very good fit, close but plenty of stretch, didn't feel restrictive, good long sleeves too...

If you have the time I reckon it is worth looking down some of the other aisles there as well..

They're fine, very good for the money.

This as well, their winter bib tights are bloody brilliant as well.

been, perused, purchased, looks ideal and great for the money, thanks.

dunno about sizing as they were all sealed, but got an L, so probs ok (usually L in mtb and XL in euro sized road kit)

Jeez, I could spend a fortune in that shop 😛

The sizing is pretty much UK T-shirt sizing.

Dunno what the difference is but I prefer the Nike 'pro combat' (whatever that is) base layers, they seem to wick quicker than the decathlon ones which rapidly get wet.

thanks tinas, should fit ok then. Yeah, I'm not expecting it to perform like a decent Craft one, but just enough to take the chill off on these cooler evening rides this time of yr.
