Anything north of £100 might seem a little steep for a long sleeve jersey, but the Santini Vega jersey will see an awful lot more use than your standard long sleeve jersey, with a water-resistant coating that will let you wear it in a much wider range of conditions.

At first glance, this jersey looks and feels very similar to many other thermal jerseys on the market, with a fleecy inner in order to provide a bit of warmth in chilly conditions. And this it does very well, with the fleece extending up the neck for a little extra warmth, and nice tight cuffs in order to stop the cold wind blowing up your arms.
