  • The T8 appears to be more for winter than the others, it's also out of stock.

  • t1-t6 are all definitely the same thickness

  • I've got a T5 and a T2. Both in size Medium, the T2 is definitely a more race fit though where the T5 is a bit more baggy and can easily fit a layer underneath. It's also longer.
    In terms of thickness they seem to be exactly as thick.

  • I went for the t5 hoping they mean autumn - spring rather than british summer when they say "Insulate yourself against harsher weather conditions with the T5."

  • I think that they mean it has sleeves, not that it's made of a thicker material.

  • Exactly, I have a long sleeve T5 and a short sleeve T1 and they are the same thickness.

  • just got my base-layer that I ordered yesterday and it's gert lush

    That is all

    Except it's cut long

    Which is a good thing

  • Got T5 today, feels warm enough for down to 2-3º rides with a thermal base layer.
    The fit is good. The grey is more of a blue steel than a grey.

  • The grey is more of a blue steel than a grey.

  • So for Christmas I got my GF one of these (T8 in red, size S for a 5' 10" lady of slim build*) and it fits really well. She says it's now her "favourite thing to wear ever". So +1 for Torm there.

    *I'm obliged, by the contract she made me sign, to refer to her as "of slim build".

  • The hem gripper thing on my T7 has come unstitched along the top edge so it flips over all the time, which is annoying. I'm also a little unconvinced by Sportwool - the inside may not 'retain odors' but the outside still honks after a few short rides.

  • Soap dodger.

    Sportwool is still 60% polyester so of course it'll smell after a few rides.

  • I hang mine in the bathroom - gets me an extra ride or two out of sportwool. I'm still in student mode

  • Even full merino starts to smell after a few rides. Lycra smells after one.

  • Post-ride, pre-shower with your kit on. sorted.

  • This.

  • I think.

    I've never had a 'pre-shower' though.

  • Pre-shower. The one you have before a bath.

  • Nope, I'm a man.

  • Soap dodger.

    Sportwool is still 60% polyester so of course it'll smell after a few rides.

    I smell like roses. Manly roses. It's more that I was hoping to get a few days from it as I can't afford five of them and 30 mins commute twice a day tends to burn through normal tshirts.

    I hang it up but it doesn't seem to make an awful lot of difference!

    Even full merino starts to smell after a few rides. Lycra smells after one.

    I dunno, my baselayer from planet x lasted a whole week of commuting without getting too bad... That was an extreme experiment though.

  • I don't have an issue with my jersey really. The baselayer starts to reek after about a week of commuting

  • Just gone for T8 in blue, looking forward to it arriving.

  • Can't believe people are complaining about not being able to wear something for a week without it stinking...

  • i once went a whole 2 weeks without washing my torm top.

    wound up with a lovely skin rash all over my arms.

    i think i actually learned something.

  • Sounds like Torm should add some soap and moisturiser to their range. Perhaps something with an evocative vintage cycling scent...
