Thanks for that. Good price. But there is very little info on that link about what is actually in them. Apart from sodium. And the water for "hydration" you of course add yourself.

View attachment 128420 Altura Airstream long sleeve top reduced from £39.99 to £9.99 with free delivery. Available in red/black & blue/black. Possibly the wrong time of year so stick it in the wardrobe until Autumn.

Mine arrived this morning. They are very thin. Not winter gear. For 9.99. inc postage though, still a good buy.

I had one arrive as well this morning, for a jersey it's not thin really as it's got that brushed (roubaix) on the inner side. With a Merino baselayer, you could wear that pretty much down to freezing point. It's certainly thicker than my club long sleeve or On One merino long sleeve jersey I own. Certainly worth a tenner.

Yes agree, it is not quite as thick as my other Altura LS jersey I have but it is not far off, however that one cost about 4 times more

My blue/black one arrived this morning, absolutely delighted with it.

Surely it will be fine layered - decent base layer and a light windblocking top when needed?

Anyone get a LARGE of those Altura tops? If so, can you tell me about chest measurement size and sizing in general? Have had two Altura large tops - one fine, other way too thin/snake like.

Yes it will be fine with a base layer and a wind blocking top. That is the point I was trying to make.

The large measures 52cm pit to pit.

Many thanks Leaway - never come across that measurement before, or the name for it, but very useful.

I have it here in the office if you would like any other dimensions.

Many thanks for the offer Leaway but no need - I've checked your measurement against an Altura largte top I have and also the Altura sizing chart available on the Edinburgh Bike Co-Op web site

http://www.edinburghbicycle.com/info/clothing-sizing-guide/

and yours matches - the large it is for me.

Like my existing one it is maybe somewhat long in the arms so I may look slightly rumpled but that is no great issue - better than too short especially if you ride stretched out.

I think the other Altura large I bought in a sale which turned out to be for a snake must have been leftover from a different product/sizing generation - never wore it - gave it away though it is possible that after my recent weight loss it would actually be fine.

Thanks again.

Yes my Altura LS jersey is quite long in the arms but the Altura stuff seems to fit the 'normal person' better than some of the other brands. I remember when I was trying on jerseys in a shop a while ago and there was this really expensive one, very nice quality but I swear the xl must have been for a 4 year old child or something I couldn't even get the jersey over my head
