Best Men's Jersey of 2012 - Road.cc

"With the attention to detail, high end fabric and finish, it is hard to pick any faults with it. You would be hard pushed to find a nicer merino jersey." - The Headset Press.

Voted number one, 5 out of 5 by Huffington Post readers, in their Best Cycling Accessories survey

"Extremely comfortable cycle-specific jersey that doesn't shout bike kit'" - Road.cc

Our incredibly successful launch garment, the Merino Button Jersey has been updated as it returns, a year after we launched. This is a jersey for all cycling, from coffee commutes to Alpine descents, right across a wide temperature range.

Through your feedback and further testing we have made the following improvements:

• A shorter body, though still a great fit for tall riders (see James and Paul above, both 6 foot plus).
• The silicon gripper is rear only, so the cut and comfort is improved on the waist.
• A larger valuables zip pocket.
• Taped pockets, to prevent sag.

Merino Sheep created their wool just for cyclists. It's uncanny. Incredibly comfortable, with loads of stretch and superbly soft, it is also naturally odour-resistant. Try wearing it for days on end if you dare. Thank you antibacterial sheep.

Merino wool also keeps you warm in the cold and cool in the heat. How so? Merino is hydrophilic, drawing water from the skin quickly and allowing it to evaporate, cooling your body. When it is cold merino traps warm dry air next to your skin, keeping you toasty. But it has to be of the highest quality, as we have done here.

A silicon waist gripper prevents it riding up and there is even a subtle reflective light loop.

We have designed a pocket pattern that suits casual riding, with two angled rear-side pockets for easy access, and a lower central zip valuables pocket. This low pocket accommodates backpacks and Camelbaks much better than three high pockets.

"The button jerseys are as good as people have said. This is my 2nd. Very very nice. A full zip version, and a lighter weight merino version next , please :)" - Vernon

"I received my jersey today and you guys have nailed it! You have used an absolutely beautiful, soft and lightweight wool that wears and feels exactly as i hoped and to top it of, your craftsmanship is impeccable. The little details like the button front, sleeve finish, rubberized waistband and pockets ake this as versatile a jersey as any on the market." - Scott

"First day I wore my jersey today. First day its been warm enough to wear without a jersey. It's the most comfortable piece of clothing I have owned. I absolutely adore it." - Gareth
