  • Don't know where to better put this. Any "technical shirts" that I can wear on the bike for commuting (30k x2) as I want to look less "full on lycra"?

  • Other half has been riding in the Woodsmoke shirt from Alpkit, Naranjo
    looks better suited to summer https://www.alpkit.com/featured/mens-midlayers

    She also tried the jersey/shirt morvelo stuff but it was just a bit weird.
    I'd also give Icebreaker a look, spendy but you only need 1 and it's much less washing. Have been using their Tech Lite tshirt and it's great.

  • Decathlon do a load of MTB style stuff which could work

  • How do you mean by "technical shirts" ?

    For overshirts I really like my swrve wool shirt + chore jacket but maybe a bit much when the temp is over 15 degrees, but pack really well and don't crease.

    They also did a stretch short sleeve shirt but its hard to find (appears on ebay sometimes)

    For summer I recently bought a nylon overshirt from amazon which is decent and xtremely lightweight/vented and looks pretty normal (no logo) though i find the sleeves are a little short on my size L (uk size M) (I'm a pretty average 5'10 but I can do pullups which sometimes takes up some sleeve space. )

    If you mean t-shirts that are technical but look smart-ish I doubt you could do better thane the dry x polos sumo mentioned.

    Other possibility is ebay some Rohan. I quite like Rohan but last time I went into a shop one of the shop staff started asking me about my genetic background and whether I had any "mongolian ancestors" because she was "interested in racial heritage" so I've not been back since.

    TBH 60k in a day rides where you don't want to wear lycra are my wheelhouse so I'd be interested in what people say!
