Spafsack Posted March 6, 2022 Share Hi guys, i am looking for short sleeve trail shirts for those chilled rides where i don't want to zip up. I have scoured the web, i see Vye has one or two, trailtech, buycyle, bike addict etc...but almost all are out of stock. The Leatt ones i see look awesome, nice cut, v neck, not overly long sleeves, basically like a good sport shirt, cool graphics and the rubber sticky on the back bottom area so it does not creep up, well, that's what i gather. Are the trail shirts normal or tight fit, or do they differ? I am looking for a normal fit. I will keep on googling and see who has what, bit difficult to order clothes like this but so many bike shops don't have stock, stock is still a massive issue across the product range board. I am 1.87m, 34 waist, your average Jo 😉 So i gather i could look at a Large? I found a bunch i liked on bike addict, emailed them to ask whether sizes are in stock, will see if they reply Monday. Any advise on where to look, what to order. As long as they are lightweight, cool, standard fit, then i recon i should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chadvdw67 Posted March 6, 2022 Share The FOX Defend shirts are quite nice, and also the Ciovita trail shirts are pretty nice OVERDRIVE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trashy Posted March 6, 2022 Share When I tried on the Leatt shirts I found them really tight and I'm a pretty small guy. Please save yourself the agony and avoid Bike Addict. Unless you can go into the shop, it's just not worth buying from then online. Communication and turn around times on orders is abysmal.

Steady Spin Posted March 6, 2022 Share Have some Fox ones and the fit is great ION is also really good. Just a tad expensive. Ciovita is a great quality as well and a good fit. Alpinestars also great fit. Troy Lee Designs is too tight around the neck. Spafsack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And dont drive to Malmesbury just because something is on their online store .... physical in store stock is a fraction of their web list Spafsack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcv Posted March 6, 2022 Share For winter i have found Fox and Shift MX tops make great mtb tops to go over your riding top. obviously you can't get to the pockets but i just stop And they are very very good value for money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCA12 Posted March 6, 2022 Share If you looking for enjoy kit, Mellow Velo in Broadacres, GP has some of their kit (have seen some of their bibs and normal zipped shirts there). They may have some of the trail tees there. Spafsack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
