My new go to jersey is the Centa Skin Jersey:

https://www.centa.fit/en/prodotto/skin-jersey-black/

Material is great and breathes well. They use the larger zipper style that supports one handed operation and have fabric backing in key parts so it doesn't pinch skin. Wallet mini pocket behind the right pocket. No bunching around the shoulders or other places.

Overall, a super solid jersey with minimal branding.

Have ordered one of the Pactimo aero mesh jerseys to try - they have heavily discounted at present in the UK with a code for an extra 20% off the sale price. Gone for the pink colour.

Recently noticed the Spanish brand G Sport, used by many teams in Spain. Their standard collection is very simple and subtle in design and colors https://gsportapparel.com/en/collection ... collection . I ordered one Pro Team long sleeve kit and the fit is very good

Tempted to try one of the Van Rysel jerseys, e.g.
https://www.decathlon.co.uk/p/unisex-ro ... R-p-354512

Anyone tried one who can offer any sizing advice? Their generic size guide puts me on a large but I normally go medium for most stuff save Castelli.

Not sure if it makes a difference that these are described as unisex so I suppose they could be sized small.

I know there is some talk of the Siroko SRX jersey's on here, and I now own several (based on RyanH's recomendation) and noticed they have a new version, the SRX II that seems to be in addition to the original SRX jersey's. It appears to be a really thin grid pattern fabric that looks really nice, and still has minimal branding, though not as minimal as the old style. They're not on sale yet, but would love to try one once they are availible as a discount.

Castelli Espresso line. Bought one pair and instantly bought another.

Been quite keen on these but thought the RRP seemed a bit steep. Thankfully it seems a few deals are starting to appear so might take a punt. How's the sizing?

The Castelli “tailored fit” is very slightly less compressive than their race fit. No vanity sizing here.

I tried one of their M2 long sleeve jerseys and didn't get on with it. I've got gorilla long arms and typically wear L. I sized down to M in this jersey and despite this, the sleeves were loose/baggy below the elbow, and still marginally too long. Gobik remains the best fitting lomg sleeve jersey I've used in L.

i really like my SRX Pro jerseys. Not as keen on a couple of the M3 summer jerseys i have from Siroko. I haven't physically tried the SRX II, but from the images it looks to be a step back. The grid pattern appears to be a print (if you zoom in), the jersey is far less sheer and there is no zipper garage around the collar. They did add a zipp closure pocket though.

I live in a very, very humid climate and was hoping that the SRX II might improve on the only shortcoming of the SRX Pro, that being the front panels of the jersey do get quite saturated. Not a deal breaker but would prefer to have a more open mesh on the front.

I have one of their M3 jersey's which is just OK - of course it was really cheap. On the SRX II - I had no idea the grid was a print - that sort of misses the point, as like you I was looking for a SRX Pro fit but with more breathability. My favorite jersey is a La Passione Dreamer?? and it has a similar fit but is meshier fabric.

Speaking of La Passione, are they struggling? Can't put my finger on it, but get the feeling when I visit their site, everything on sale and sometimes low or no stock of things..

Pretty sure they’ve gone out of business.
