Hi, looking for some ideas on what to wear for Ironman Arizona.

I need a light-weight, breathable, long-sleeve bike jersey. Last year wore a generic white long-sleeve jersey from Performance. It was great. Protected me from the sun-burn (first IM gave me a 2nd degree sunburn).

I would like to wear something new this year, but it has to be long-sleeve and light /breathable.

Hopefully some of you have some suggestions; i have not found too much on TE or other bike websites. I already have the Canari SPF-longsleeve jersey in hot pink, just not crazy about the way it fits me.

thanks
Laura

DH wore the Boure SPF jerseys for all three of his full-distance tris in 2007.

Here's a link to the women's version:

I've worn mine on centuries in high heat, and these are our jerseys of choice for summer riding. We love the fabric. The yellow one (last year's design) shows up great on the road, too. I could see him from so far away, so I was ready to take pics as he rode by. I keep thinking I should buy this year's design while it's on sale, but we each have 3 and that's probably enough. Maybe. ;)
