Summer Wool Short Sleeve Cycling Jersey - Steel Blue

Summer wool cycling jersey.

The summer wool jersey is good for the hot temps., but it is so thin that after the first washing threads are coming out.

This is my second lightweight jersey from you. This jersey fits great and I love the sleeve length. Fabric is soft and perfect for a hot day.

Mostly great

I have a strong preference for nuyarn for my active tops and especially love the 100 wt blends for hotter weather. I was really excited to try this piece. Fit is typical for Pinebury in that it's quite trim; I'm usually a L and in Pinebury garments am between L and XL (5'11", 195 lbs, athletic build). I got an XL and ran it through the drier just once to shrink it to the right size. I'll echo prior comments that I wish the sleeves were a little longer and the collar a little taller. My mine grip with this jersey is the lower back area around the pockets is noticeably hotter than the rest of the jersey. Most of the jersey is just a single layer of the 100wt Nuyarn but the lower back area has 2 layers of Nuyarn and 3 layers of mesh for 5 layers total. This area always got hot and sweaty on me. I ended up cutting out all of the mesh which makes the jersey a little less comfortable if I'm not wearing bibs and/or a baselayer and the pockets sag if stuffed with something heavy like a water bottle, but overall it's a worthy trade off for better thermoregulation. It would be great if they could figure out a way to do this back with less layers of material!
