No one mentioned this one Mens Long Sleeve Coolmax Jersey so I ordered one to try out. Fabric is a bit scratchy and their sizing chart is no good unless you like your jerseys loose. Said 38-40 chest is a large so that is what I got and should have gotten a medium as I like things to fit snug. Rear pockets are really wide but fabric is pretty stretchy so I think putting much weight in them would have them hanging low.

I'll try it out this weekend and see how it does in the sun/heat.

I don't like loose, scratchy, and ill-fitting jerseys so I wear sun sleeves by Specialized...apparently 30 SPF and the thinnest without being practically sheer. They do work since my arms get dark super fast and with these on, that process is significantly sower. I have started to put some good sunscreen on my arms too too.

I still have some white looser jerseys I got from Performance once but I keep those for the 70s. As with anything from Performance I have tried, the material and fit is subpar.

Boure makes nice long-sleeved SPF jerseys - scroll down to the bottom of the page to see all the different styles: Sun Protection Cycling Clothing - Bouré Bicycle Clothing

For women, the Terry Soleil jerseys are remarkably soft and lightweight.

I tried on some Rapha ones today...holy moly! Their Flyweight and Lightweight jerseys are incredible...thin, good snug fit, comfy, can't feel any seams at all. I bought a Brevet Lightweight jersey but the Pro line has some incredible stuff and I'm tempted to pick one up for the really hot/sunny days. Of course...not value priced at all.

The trick is finding lightweight, thin, breathable jerseys that offer sun protection though. Otherwise, what's the point of wanting a long sleeve jersey for hot weather.

Short sleeve jersey + arm coolers from Ebay for like $4 a set. When I mountain bike I use the ones with the hex pads in the elbows. I can't see the advantage of using a one piece long sleeve jersey. Maybe someone can set me right.

Sy Reene

1 piece is easier than 3. I also have 1-piece jackets, 1-piece bib tights, and 1-piece helmets.

WhyFi

Sure, but it's also less versatile and more expensive.

Sy Reene

But OP isn't looking for versatility or to potentially save money. He wants a long sleeve jersey for hot weather.

If this fits the OP, I have this jersey and it's great for warm weather.

WhyFi

Was I responding to the OP? Were you responding to the OP? "No" on both counts.

Sy Reene

It's called "context".. typical BF thread though, someone asks for recs on long sleeved hot-weather jerseys, and I'd guess more than half the posts are about sun sleeves, long sleeve tshirts, and there's some other stuff about sweatbands.

WhyFi

Lol - except that's not at all the context of the exchange. "Context."

There doesn't seem to be much market supply of long sleeved hot-weather jerseys. Perhaps there's not much demand. Unless one of the few options fits what you'd what to wear, you've got many more options combining any conventional jersey with sun sleeves or sun screen. None of the long sleeved jerseys recommended so far are appealing to me.

I wore this on my 65 mile ride Sunday and it worked out well. Didn't notice being any warmer than a short sleeve and despite being out for 5+ hours, I had no noticeable tanning on my arms. I did put some sunscreen on in the wrist areas.

I'll probably get another one in Medium but this one, while on the loose side was pretty comfortable. The Boure ones look nice also but at 3X the price I may have to wait for a sale. Thanks for all the suggestions.

Wait for Rapha's not infrequent sales. Sign up for the Rapha newsletter and take their occasional "surveys," which offer hefty discounts as a reward for wasting a few minutes.

Rapha's got a sale on now, including the flyweight jersey for $135.

Chandne

For whoever reason, I find wearing thin sleeves and short sleeves cooler than full-sleeve jerseys. Maybe because the arms are thinner and a little more venting that way. I have started a recent love affair with Rapha but after buying some shorts, jersey, and jacket, I'm going to wait a few months. Thanks for the tips on their sales.

I would second that. All my bike clothing is from them. I wear the long-sleeved jersey by itself when it is hot and sunny and then as a layer under a jacket when it is cooler. In between you can wear the long sleeve under a short sleeve and still keep the sun off your arms. They are also very cooperative at adjusting things like sleeve length.

I think Boure is also making "sol skins" for knee protection from sunburn, but I find them a little hot and uncomfortable.
