Long sleeve summer jersey

Postby jtaus67 » Sun Oct 03, 2021 10:37 am

Wondering if anyone can point me at a suitable long sleeve jersey for our local summer here. I have been searching around and finding little other than Groundeffect NZ and some other fringe stuff (q36.5). UV protection being the main aim..
I've been noting even in the past weeks here in Sydney the forearms starting to burn and i want to avoid sunscreen if possible.
Any ideas? The Groundeffect stuff looks pretty good but wanted to see if anyone else is aware of other options.
Thanks!

Skody are local and make good quality long sleeve jerseys. Decent cheaper options include Neopro - they are super thin so ideal for summer, or OCG (both based in OZ, but Chinese made).

Skody stuff is not bad and bonus that it is made here.

I still like my ground effects long sleeves just that bit more…

Skody seem to have the long sleeve in the optimize vs the performance. Would be ideal in performance as a looser fit.

Perhaps some sun sleeves would give you enough protection?

Another good idea, though preferring looser fit arms. I've gone ahead and purchased a ground effects jersey, will see how it goes!
