Thinking ahead to (and dreaming of) some warmer weather, does anyone have some recommendations for nice lightweight, breathable jersey's for those hotter summer days. I'm thinking along the lines of the mesh/see through type I see the pro's wearing on hot days, but am struggling to find them available to the general public.

I see a few on Wiggle such as the dhb Race Hyper Light, Morvello Beez Superlight, Isadore 'climber's jerseys'...

Any one have jersey's such as these or can recommend some good jersey's for hot stinking hills? (and preferably not in the ridiculously expensive Rapha/Assos price ranges )

Morvelo are a weird fit, cut very high at the bottom on the front. Got a long sleeve in L because it was all they had and I wanted it anyway, is wearable but a bit looser than I like, after that ordered a S short sleeve jersey and its too small, waiting on an M to arrive. Like thier designs though and the price is ok.

I just got a volero jersey which feels like very good quality and is nice and light, breathable and a very good fit. They run at about 150 odd so a bit cheaper than rapha, and much more unique.

I've got the Sportful BodyFit Pro Race jersey, purchased last December. It's a nice thin breathable jersey for hot weather. That thing is a very snug fit, giving the core an extra workout by forcing me to make sure the stomach is kept in check .

dhb's ASV is pretty good. I did a review on them on the front page of this site last spring. It's good quality gear, let alone for the price. In fact I bought additional bibs I liked them so much.

I have a Gore Oxygen which has mesh sections and is very lightweight, it's my go to top for hot weather.

Thanks guys!

Just bought one of the dhb Race Hyperlights. Hopefully got the right size. Looks great for those hot days and reasonably priced. Still yet to arrive so I'll update when it's here.

If you're in Sydney, the GLUE store Birkenhead Point has these for $50.

Just had my DHB Hyper light arrive. Looks and feels quite nice and fit is good. I went for an XL, at 180cm/80kg/broad shoulders. Feels like it should be pretty nice on those hotter days.

This exactly lol.
Doubt you will find a more lightweight jersey.
Punishing if you have been hitting the donuts - no where to hide
