I want to get my Dad a new cycling top. I have no idea what's good! His in his 50s, very sporty and healthy. Can spend about £60. Any ideas. Thanks!

Cycling tops tend to come up small so buy a size bigger than normal

I'd choose a Monaco (short sleeved t-shirt style) as summer is coming. Does he like team names e.g. Sky or would he prefer a character top.

Does he wear bright colours? (I think cyclists should)

have a look here for ideas

Bright colour is a good idea. No character tops he would hate that! He wears good brands so something with a brand name would be ok. Thanks for the link I'll have a look z

Just not a team top. The other cyclists will point and whisper Sad

Don't get yellow, it is not a good colour to cycle in as it turns black

Stick to other colours

Wiggle are really good as my dd didn't like some stuff I got her and I popped it in the bag they sent with the order took to a local shop and got reveit and wiggle refunded me no quible.

Added to which they are a good price

I like the Marmite top and they are now doing a ketchup top

My hubby loves his funky foksa (I think) ones… he has Heinz and Marmite… I want to get him the new London map one as he's a geog teacher! He has always found them very comfortable.

I bought one of these for a Father's day present for my old man from Salt Dog Cycling. www.saltdogcycling.com/mens-cycling-jerseys/ The Alpe d'Huez one looks really good and he loves it! :-) They do a few other designs from famous cycling mountains.
