L/S jerseys w/ uv?

Thoughts?

PS. I found the weirdest occurance of uv protection with the sleeveless tank jerseys? What up with that? Doesn't that sorta defeat the purpose?

Maybe so we don't burn our backs, boobs and tummies? lol... Lately I've acquired tanlines from my sports bra -- which I wear under jerseys, of course.

The Shebeest jersey looks good, but it does have a brushed interior. I've been eyeing that one myself. Please let me know if it works for you.

The Bouré jersey appears to be similar to the long-sleeved Amici Veloci jersey I ordered. I'll let you know when I get it

Cannondale's Solar Jersey is nice, but it's white (i.e. kinda transparent) and has only one small zippered pocket. I tried their Competition Jersey just once but haven't worn it again. It was ok, but I tanned right through it. In all fairness, though, I didn't burn at all, and it was a long ride from 9am-12:30pm, when the sun is pretty strong.

Louis Garneau's MicroBrush fabric is brushed but not *too* heavy. (But stay away from their Micro Airdry Elite, which is thicker and heavier). I wore last year's Team Speed Queen Longsleeve jersey in warm weather and it worked pretty well. Check out this year's model: LG Team Speed Queen L/S Jersey and the LG Pro Jersey - Longsleeve. I like them so much that I'm thinking of using a razor to shave them on the inside. No joke.

Good luck,

Cari
