Not XC/roadie lycra

Not #enduro / DH flouro-nightmare pyjamas

Just a nice semi-baggy fit, back long enough to not ride up and leave a gap, arms long enough, fairly plain colours and design. No need for pockets, room for pads or anything like that.

I have a Lab Gear top from 5 or 6 years ago that I love, but they seem to have turned into eleven.cc and now make Rapha-like roadie stuff. Anything non-cycling I've tried is fine for running but too short in the back for riding.

Morvelo might be getting an order but anything else I should be looking at?

My Morvelo is awesome. Grippy bits on the shoulders, long back, good fit.

Would have recommended Morvelo too

(Although I ride in lycra jerseys or base layers)

I didn't realise I'd need a 2nd mortgage!

I use North Face Apex stuff for cycling (because there used to be an outlet shop near my in-laws). It's not too short for me.

I've got a couple of these in the black, they seem decent enough.

Endura Xtract. I have 3 of them, great jerseys and good price

However the tenn one linked earlier is similar and half the price. I got a couple for my boys the other week and they are top notch

I've just started a new topic in the Bike Forum; PSA - bikes, bits, clothing and more.

Link there you might wish to explore.
