I just got my jerseys, wore the long armed one the first time today.
Figured I needed some lighter stuff for the coming spring and summer, and the AWESOME giordana bodyclone jacket I am wearing is just too warm for above 8 degrees (even though we're back to 5, yepee).
Well, I don't think it's bad, but I find the cuffs a bit too narrow, can hardly get my hands through.
I also wish they'd put some stretchy stuff on top of the pockets. The middle bit has a velcro thing, which is good, but the other two will have all the stuff falling out if you take it off.
The fabric itself feels a bit different to my howies merino layers that I usually wear. Haven't touched rapha stuff yet, so cannot say anythinga bout how it compares, but you can definitely tell it's not pure merino.
I did wear some layers underneath, and probably will do in most scenarios.
The general cut and design I like.
Anyone knows a make that does full merino longsleeve jerseys, rather than fabric mixes, or would that not work for some reason that I didin't think about?
