Never buy cheap merino, as it won’t last. I got a dhb top from Wiggle and whilst it was cheap, it lasted a summer before falling apart.

Is it the same as the current merino jersey line? I’ve had my long sleeve for 2 or 3 years and is still going very strong despite getting a lot of use including wearing backpacks on commutes etc. I know they also have an “ultralight” merino model which might well be a whole lot flimsier like I’ve seen people lamenting about much more expensive Castelli lightweight merino tops as well (ie holes and unstitching around the pocket seams if carrying anything more than a gel etc)
Because of that I was mostly gravitating towards the dhb as my experience is very good and the price is good too!
I currently have a M which I bought second hand forgetting my LS is actually a L and unsurprisingly it’s a tight fit, so haven’t ridden with it to figure out what temperature range it would suit.

Looking for a nice merino (or merino mix) short sleeve jersey to wear in warm conditions (not necessarily very hot, think British summer) and possibly on multi day trips.
Torm and Rapha Brevet/Classic seem popular but Decathlon/Triban and dhb have their own offering for cheaper (currently have the dhb but too small, need to try a size up!). Isadore is another one, very pricey like Rapha but seems excellent (have a long sleeve I bought off a forum member which I love).
What’s the forum consensus/opinion/experience? Bonus points for good length on the (short) sleeves.
