Longsleeve summer jersey options?

[Tall]

I'm looking for lightweight, longsleeve summer jerseys. At the moment I ride short sleeve jerseys with either protective sun sleeves or sunscreen. A longsleeve jersey seems like the better option, but I haven't really found anything that fits what I'm looking for:

• not white or hi-viz
• tight fit
• long-enough sleeves (my dress shirts have 36" sleeves)
• no car/bike yin/yang graphics

So something like the Bouré jerseys, but with better fit and different graphics. https://www.boure.com/8604-20.html

Anybody aware of options that would fulfill all my criteria?

Thx.

Not sure what you mean by better fit from Boure; assuming you've tried them?

I actually like the Peugeot tribute graphics and will likely grab one to complement the other two I have. Haven't checked recently but they sometimes have last year's version available.

I hear you on limited options for LS simmer jerseys. Given my dermatologist keeps emoving things he attributes to three summers as a lifeguard I really wear as jerseys anymore. Sun sleeves don't quite do it for me either.

My crew has used Champion Systems for our issued race kit vendor for many years.
Quality is admittedly mediocre, yet they do offer a long-sleeve summer-weight jersey.
Like you, I occasionally wish to just "get out of the sun" and will select that even on a hot day.

Should have been more specific, sorry. I had emailed Boure about fit, and in order to get long-enough sleeves, I'd end up with a loose fit.

I've liked both my Ornot long sleeve summer jersey which is stretchy and super light and my Assos Mille GT long sleeve summer jersey, which is same light weight and fit as their normal mille jersey, just with sleeves.

Thx, I had looked at the Assos but couldn't quite tell how much of a true summer jersey it was. Copy like "Whether you’re looking for added protection from the sun’s rays or an additional bit of warmth for a warm-up ride" made me suspect it may be warmer than I want it. They also don't have info on the sleeve length in their sizing charts.

The Ornot looks promising, too. But again, no sleeve length info.

I'll have to contact them.

check out Morvelo.

I bought two of these jerseys, De Marchi, Euro Nationals Limited Edition Jerseys.
Light weight. I used one last week in Sacto, 70 degrees and felt comfortable. Excellent quality and fit.
Seems like they have sold out of many colors.

I deal with sun sensitivities and have not found a good cool LS summer jersey that works. So I wear standard short sleeve jerseys and sleeves that have good SPF ratings. I've got them in white, high viz yellow and tattoo. The latter are pretty interesting.

I also wear one while driving during the summer, usually the tat look.

If your legs are sensitive, try a pair of leg compression sleeves...

Yea, I may look pretty silly out on a 90 degree day, but my skin is happy.

These DeMarchi longsleeves are the same weight as their regular warm weather jerseys, just in long sleeves. I pickup one up and like it -- they have been on clearance at Backcountry/CC forever.

You might want to give these Voler lightweight peloton jerseys a look. They have a pretty cool fabric tech, and are relatively understated.
there are two design types on this page:

They are lighter than most long sleeve jerseys. If you read the reviews on Competitive Cyclist they are praised for warm weather use.

I didn't see any SPF/UPF rating on those jerseys. If you need sun protection, you need a fabric designed/treated for sun protection...

How about the Assos Mille GT? As for sizing, I'm 5'6" 145-ish pounds and the medium seemed to fit a bit more snugly than the other Assos Mille gear I've purchased in the past.

Mille is Assos' "club fit" line and for some other brands it would probably qualify as a "race fit."

Ah... unfortunately, sleeves are a hair on the long side when I get something sized to avoid midriff sausage look

Looks like Voler and Boure use the same Genesis SPF28+ fabric...
