Do they exist?

Basically I'm sick of plastering my arms with sun block every day. I've
been looking in the bike shops and it seems that the only choice is
sleeveless or cap sleeve tops.

What I really want is a sun safe top. Am I alone in this quest or are
cyclists in general more likely to do the sun block thing o the arms?

Ground Effect do their Rock Lobster
http://www.groundeffect.co.nz/product_detail.php?style=ROC&category=SUM
It is made in their Intercool fabric that has a high UV rating and is much
more comfortable & less smelly than Coolmax.

Available on-line or ring them on their freecall number 1800 145 333

Cheers
Peter

Unfortunately, Ground Effect sizes only go up to a Large or else I would
definately have some of their stuff......it looks to be pretty high quality
and is reasonably priced. I even wrote them an email asking if they were
considering making some bigger sizes but sadly they are not.

Ride On,

The Netti "Force" long sleeve jersey is in their summer lineup and has a UPF
of 50+.

A: Top-posters.
Q: What is the most annoying thing on Usenet?

Don't know if will help much, but a couple of years ago when I was cycling around Austria me and a friend found all this Shimano stuff on sale at a bike shop, which included some long sleeve summer cycling shirts. Really good, very breathable, you can wear it most of the year round (except I wouldn't recommend it in winter). I can't find anything like it on the Australian Shimano website, but the European one has it in the cycling clothing section under Cycling Wear - Originals.

Dunno how exactly you would get hold of it in Australia though.

Thank you for the thread + links, for one, I HATE prolonged exposure to the hot sun in summer. In past years I've worn long sleeved cotton tops rather than be exposed to UV. At this years MBTC Mad Ride I wore sleeved thermals. Bloody hot day, but thanks to the thermals - bearable. Other cyclists probably thought I was completely barking. Well thats subject to conjecture, but I sooner prefer a reasonable level of unpleasantness compared to severe sunburn on very pale skin.

Yes we have plenty of 'summer weight' Suarez long sleeve shirts , in big
sizes too $79 with long zipper .

drop us a line for design/size availability

But, all the Ground Effect stuff is very generous in sizing. I would
still have a go at ordering some. They have absolutely no problems with
you people sending stuff back if it's not quite right in size

Netti also have the sunshield long sleeve tops in high visibility yellow

http://www.netti.com.au/products/generic/detail.asp?f_CatalogueID=24&f_CategoryID=71&f_ProductID=346

you might also consider as a cheaper alternative the high visibility long sleeve summer workwear shirts for about half the price of the cheapest cycle tops made by king gee and probably other workwear manufactures
