Cheap tees for cycling

Was wondering if anyone had opinions/knowledge on non specific cycling tops/jerseys, that are good for cycling in.

I.e high street/amazon cheap t-shirts that are nice for cycling in, thin, soft, loose without buying specific cycling wear

I have never found any non-cycling-specific garms to be suitable for cycling in as they all get soaked in sweat within minutes, take 12 hours to dry, and smell like an elephant's arse crack.

HTH.

Aha fair enough this is less for 1+ rides, more like a 20-30 minute commute or cycle down town

Bamboo t-shirts.

Sports Direct for cheapo training tops (sweat wicking type ones whose name escapes me) and any cheap t-shirt over the top if, like me, you are not to keen on showing the world what you look like the Pilsbury Doughboy wrapped in a binbag.

+1 Sports Direct, general purpose athletic/running stuff there is about 1/3 the price of any cycling-specific stuff, and does the job about 3/4 as well.

Cheers guys, will go have a look in SD else ill get down to decathlon

Anyone ever try their cycling shoes?

Aldi and Lidl often have cycle clothing on sale at their usual cheap prices.

Sweaty synthetic fabrics smell a zillion times worse than sweaty cotton.

I just use random t-shirts. Who gives a fuck?

these are pretty decent although not much more 'normal' than jerseys

Lidl has cycle stuff on sale right now - got a saddle bag with 2 bike tools for a fiver today.

They've also got shorts and tops for £5, or £7, wasn't really looking at them. And good sized cauliflowers, nice and fresh.

You get wet with sweat quicker wearing cotton, which is why cycling jerseys are made of polyester.

Uniqlo do polyester tees (called Heattech or Dry or something depending on marketing/season).

I would agree as well, but for me the end result is the same, they don't seem to postpone the inevitable for any significant amount of time to justify the extra cost.

I also buy a lot of Uniqlo because the clothes I ride in never last that long.

I usually wear at least a thin merino layer under my civilian clothes all through the year.

Well now you've quoted us both for extra repeated repeated repeatedness it shouldn't get missed.

;)

Just in case anyone missed it...

I think Uniqlo do some good...

OK, I will stop now :)

I second missmouse and the uniqlo love. Also decathlon is great for tshirts and super cheap fleeces too. My decathlon fleece has saved me on many an occasion.

New favourite non-specific cycling tshirt is the adidas special Olympic edition tshirt I got on ebay. It's so hideous it's great.
