Long sleeved summer tops
Do they exist?
Basically I'm sick of plastering my arms with sun block every day. I've been looking in the bike shops and it seems that the only choice is sleeveless or cap sleeve tops. What I really want is a sun safe top. Am I alone in this quest or are cyclists in general more likely to do the sun block thing o the arms? -- Cheers Euan |

Ground Effect do their Rock Lobster http://www.groundeffect.co.nz/produc...C&category=SUM It is made in their Intercool fabric that has a high UV rating and is much more comfortable & less smelly than Coolmax. Available on-line or ring them on their freecall number 1800 145 333 Cheers Peter |

Don't know if will help much, but a couple of years ago when I wa cycling around Austria me and a friend found all this Shimano stuff o sale at a bike shop, which included some long sleeve summer cyclin shirts. Really good, very breathable, you can wear it most of the yea round (except I wouldn't recommend it in winter). I can't find anythin like it on the Australian Shimano website, but the European one has i in the cycling clothing section under Cycling Wear - Originals. http://www.shimano-europe.com/cycling Dunno how exactly you would get hold of it in Australia though -- Pipba |

Thank you for the thread + links, for one, I HATE prolonged exposure t the hot sun in summer. In past years I've worn long sleeved cotton top rather than be exposed to UV. At this years MBTC Mad Ride I wore sleeve thermals. Bloody hot day, but thanks to the thermals - bearable. Othe cyclists probably thought I was completely barking. Well thats subjec to conjecture, but I sooner prefer a reasonable level of unpleasantnes compared to severe sunburn on very pale skin -- cfsmtb |

But, all the Ground Effect stuff is very generous in sizing. I would
still have a go at ordering some. They have absolutely no problems with you people sending stuff back if it's not quite right in size Allan Unfortunately, Ground Effect sizes only go up to a Large or else I would definately have some of their stuff......it looks to be pretty high quality and is reasonably priced. I even wrote them an email asking if they were considering making some bigger sizes but sadly they are not. Ride On, Gags |
