Anyone have a good recommendation for a hot weather summer weight long sleeve road jersey with UV protection? Looking for something to cover my arms without needing to combine sun sleeves and a normal jersey.
Specialized used to make a Deflect long sleeve, but it seems no more.

Subscribing to see what others suggest.
I’ve been wearing sun sleeves for couple years now and prefer them over lathering up with sunscreen.....my only beef is fact that my sun sleeves turned grey after few washes

These might not match your aesthetic but I like their lightness, comfort, and decent elastic.

UA makes some compression shirts with UV protection, they run sales all the time

I just started to use the Assos long sleeve summer base layer all by itself...best solution so far even in the 90's with dew point in the 70's

Good choice, and good price. Why pay more when performance is no better. Remember, in really hot weather (think Florida) you want to douse sun sleeves with your water bottle every now and then.

Thanks All, also found this:

Looks cool, but the neck is pretty low for sun protection.
Might give that Bellwether a shot!
