Yyyy Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 Hello Need some help. I am looking for Male/unisex sleeveless cycling tops locally. I found some on Amazon but they don’t deliver that product to SA. Another question, why has sleeveless tops died? Are there any disadvantages to it? Is it just a questionable fashion choice?
Schmorglebot Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 I can't really help you (although I feel like not helping you is helping you) but I can take a stab at your questions: 1. It makes you look like a triathlete2. See above, plus skin is slow, so the less of it that is exposed the better3. Again, see number 1. I wear my crisp tan lines as a mark of dedication to my sport. Sure I can't go to the beach without a rash vest for fear of ridicule and the risk of blinding all who gaze upon me but it's a small price to pay. If you still insist on exposing your deltoids, grab a pair of scissors and gooi a DIY on a regular jersey Long Wheel Base, Dadbod Racing, Albatross and 4 others 7

Quagga Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 Illegal to wear in most race excluding tri. Ispeed_V, Riaan H, dave303e and 3 others 6
KingZA Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 Please don't do this. We face enough ridicule from motorists for our behavior and we cant give them questionable fashion choices as well. If you don't head this advise we'll just say you're a triathlete and so we cant be painted with the same brush! Blokman, dave303e, Pure Savage and 8 others 11
Dadbod Racing Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 LMAO all the anti Triathlete talk. Don't do it though, the African Sun is harsh... Riaan H, SwissVan, Pure Savage and 2 others 5
Chadvdw67 Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 (edited) I wear my crisp tan lines as a mark of dedication to my sport. Sure I can't go to the beach without a rash vest for fear of ridicule and the risk of blinding all who gaze upon me but it's a small price to pay. ???????? my niece pointed out my tan lines on the top of her voice a little while back at a "public" swimming pool, no doubt everyone saw it before she shouted to me "why have you got such a funny tan?" But I never felt like all eyes were on me up until that point. I have not been in a swimming pool since... Edited February 18, 2020 by Chadvdw67 Riaan H 1
Jewbacca Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 I am with Quagga I thought sleeves were part of the race legal, mandatory equipment check and sanctioned races. Also with Schmorgle on this one. It is a crime against humanity. DJR, dave303e, GlynRo and 1 other 4
Duane_Bosch Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 (edited) You're only allowed to go sleeveless if you have proper guns with tats all over them. You're also only allowed to do this if you are throwing down laps in the bikepark and you can back the look up with at least a T-bog and a no footer. Black & Red trails only. No Blues.

HOEKVLAG Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 As was said, sleeveless tops are more for triathlons, so if you google Zone3, Orca, etc. you should be able to get a hold of some. Fluidlines stock the Orca stuff.
Long Wheel Base Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 NO, just no. Despite the fact that it is illegal for racing, sleeveless tops should be binned with short socks. Wayne pudding Mol, Hacc, DJR and 2 others 5
RobertWhitehead Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 Don't listen to all these negative comments . Get yourself some proper "wife-beaters" through our friends at Ali. These ones looks legit https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32854064384.html?spm=a2g0o.detail.1000060.1.21bb325d0YJuYA&gps-id=pcDetailBottomMoreThisSeller&scm=1007.13339.146401.0&scm_id=1007.13339.146401.0&scm-url=1007.13339.146401.0&pvid=8e31a382-3cfb-48a1-8b9b-a1c5ceaab274 Hello Need some help.

Andrew Steer Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 PM me if you still want some...I'm sure we still have some lekker retro ones hiding in the factory RobertWhitehead 1
The Ouzo Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 NO, just no. Despite the fact that it is illegal for racing, sleeveless tops should be binned with short socks.is it really illegal for racing ? and why ? for that proper sleeveless look just wear your bibs with no shirt. Wayne pudding Mol, Rock Guy, Jako De Wet and 4 others 7
Andrew Steer Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 Just thinking back, at most Mtb races two decades ago, there were tons of sleeveless tops... even some of the Mtb pro's road sleeveless. Maybe it'll come back in fashion again Graham W 1
Andrew Steer Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 is it really illegal for racing ? and why ? for that proper sleeveless look just wear your bibs with no shirt. It really is... Why? Because UCI like to police unimportant things when they can barely police the important stuff. PhilipV, gemmerbal and Riaan H 3
