Is there a sleeveless cycling top anywhere??

[snails pace]

So how do you people avoid the tan lines on your arms when cycling?

I have been looking for a sleeveless cycling top, but can't find any, so guess there is no real market for them.

Do you cut the sleeves off your older tops, or what is the secret to avoid the tan line when not in cycling attire??




And then there is the leg tan line to contend with.

Why would you care about the tanlines?

Surely your t-shirts etc have sleeves?

Plenty of sleeveless jerseys available, Probikekit usually have a range on their website.

I've got a bit of a liking for Tenn Outdoors stuff at the moment, and they have a the Sport Vest sleeveless top in their range.

They're call Gilets. Google it.

A good factor suncream should help.

You'll more commonly find them in a triathlon store rather than amongst cycling gear.

Right next to the black socks.

I think pariahcycling.com does the complete range.

They'll even fit Shimano to your Italian bike.

Sadly not. and if I was I would still be in bed...mmmmmm boobs



I thought gillets were like bodywarmers for colder days.

Will take a look for them in the places suggested.



Thanks all

Velominati Rule 7: Tan lines should be cultivated and kept razor sharp. Under no circumstances should one be rolling up their sleeves or shorts in an effort to somehow diminish one’s tan lines. Sleeveless jerseys are under no circumstances to be employed.


Obey the rules!

The only sure way is to go down the beauty salon and get a professional fake tan so you don't have pale under arms too

Just bought one of these from tenn-outdoors on ebay, £15.99 delivered - seems fair enough. I've never used this seller before, but I know many others on here have. I'll let you know what I think when it arrives

A windproof gilet would seem to me like a daft thing to be wearing on a hot sunny day.

But if you're a man never, ever, ever wear a sleeveless cycling top. Never. At best you'll look like a triantelope.
