Long Sleeve Retro Cycling Jerseys

Long sleeve Retro Cycling Jerseys are ideal to be worn as part of a layering system, or just worn as an outer layer over a base layer. Manufacturers make a range of different long sleeve jerseys, from lightweight materials for summer use to tops that feature wind stopping fabrics on the chest, or thicker winter fleecy lined tops which can almost be described as jackets which will provide a good level of warmth. We stock long sleeve Jerseys from manufacturers such as Assos, Briko, Campagnolo, dhb, Endura, Gore, Northwave and Pearl Izumi. There are various thicknesses of jersey available within this category, we list them with three distinct thicknesses, these give an indication of the time of year they are best suited too. Lightweight are ideal for summer evenings to take the chill off, medium thickness jerseys are great for cooler days in the spring and autumn months whilst the thickest jerseys are suitable for spring, autumn or winter months. Long sleeve jerseys also benefit from other features, such as zip lengths for venting and a range of pockets to keep food, spares or even a water proof shell in, most will also feature reflective detailing for safety.

Look the part wearing a Morgan Blue Retro Cycling Jerseys as worn by cycling legends such as Eddy Merckxx and Rik Van Looy. Hand-made in Belgium, the jerseys come in three different designs: Molteni, Faema and Solo-Superia. Molteni was the team led by Merckxx during his most dominant years; Faema was the powerhouse pro team from 1955-1970 while Solo-Superia was legendary Belgian rider Rik van Looy’s team during the ‘60s. All jerseys are casual fit with a quarter length zip. They have a retro steel zipper and are made from Wool-Acryl so can be machine washed.

It's not hard to fall in love with the Retro Solo Superia. It's hand made in Belgium and everyone who has seen it has commented on its looks. The jersey, which is based on that worn by legendary 1960's Belgian rider Rik van Looy, is made from Wool-Acryl, which despite the name is machine washable. While this doesn't have the itch irritation of wool jerseys from the past we certainly preferred to wear something under it and it isn't as wearable as other retro style jerseys made from merino. The casual fit is almost baggy but doesn't look out of place when you ride in it. Up front a quarter length steel zip allows for extra venting when you start to work harder. The Solo is extremely warm and looks equally good of the bike. One of the best value retro jersey's out there.
