I have seen quite a few acrylic cycling jerseys for sale recently... all look nice an old school.. but I was wondering.... isn't acrylic a bad substance for a sweating body? Like Nylon?

I also see a lot in polyester.... Would cotton not be better?

cotton smells which is never any good if u got to meet people at the other end.

I have a cranberry cold base layer, doesn't stink at all, which is fucking ace.

Maybe, depends on the person I guess. Though merino wool is the 531 of fabrics.

Cotton does not disperse the bodies moisture like Wool. Hense old jersys being made from wool. We manufacture in Britaibn a range of Technical Merino wool jerseys that regulate the bogies temp and wick away moisture. See

Hmm - I prefer a warm strawberry and ginger base layer - the colour is nice and the ginger helps with the motion sickness

Cheers for the insight. Nice clobber on your site. Perhaps if I had a few samples to test this new fangled "wool" technology....??

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
