Sure.

While its not as stretchable as a normal jersey it is still very good for biking. For temperatures higher than 5 degrees celsius its perfect. If its colder you might need additional clothing.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time like tears in rain.

Have any of you used the Under Armour Cold Weather top? I use one for running or biking depending on the conditions and think it is the best to date for me. I live in a wintery hell so spend quite a bit of time using various types of cold weather gear.

Hey Julian,

Do you know who makes the Bike Jersey? Haven't been able to find it. I love the running top also.

Leigh, the one I have seen is by Concurve, but I think that may only be available in Europe as Bavarian Frank mentioned that it is Gore's German brand.

I'm sure Tom D could help find a name for you when he surfaces! Naturally from a bike fit of Epic training set, obviously not implying he's still in his pit! Alternatively I recall some US shops and products coming up from a search engine.

Good Luck.

Thanks Hid. You got one ? What's it like?

I've been tempted to get this top. Just curious. Can you define your wintery hell and what this top is useful for (what temperature ranges and what else you need to wear)?

Julian -I don't have one but I'm ordering one. I'll let you know how it works.

*sigh* I'm still searching for that magical top that will keep me warm down to the single digits. Damn Minnesota winters. :(

My wintery hell is like yours in MN - ME. I can run down to 0*F with only the UA top and an unlined shell. If there is no wind, I might be looking at a vest only with the UA (espeically if I'm doing a workout) as temps approach 15*F. I did run those days it never exceeded 0* (-20 wind chills) and was fine but wore a heavier shell (still unlined). It needs to fit relatively tight to work well, but the ability to keep you warm and transfer moisture is better than anything I've used before. I only cycle down to 20* outside, I can wear the UA and a shell at that temp on the bike as well. You need to make sure you have a shell that also moves moisture to stay dry and comfortable as well.

Thanks to both HID and Julian for the info. I am a big baby when it comes to being cold, so I will let you know what I think after I've tried the jersey out.

The thing we really need in Northern California is something that insulates equally well in cold and heat. Usually we dress in layers, but I hate carrying extra stuff while on my bike.
