Top for XC

[MagicMelon]

Can anyone recommend a top for XC which is cool. I know some have fabric which wicks away sweat etc. I have always used a short sleeved polo shirt up until now which is pretty cool but I wondered if there was one actually designed for it?

To wear under or over your BP?

I wear clothes designed for skiing. Gore-tex and that lot. Wicks the swaet away and keeps you warm/cool.

I am not sure whether there is an XC purpose designed top- Could very well be though.

Sorry - to wear under my protector. Gore-tex? Right, will have a look at that sort of thing

Quite a few people are using Canterbury tops - they were designed for sport and wick away sweat. They are lightweight and silky in feel. I saw Sharon Hunt wearing one recently. I used to wear them for rugby and they are nice.

That will give you a low down. Anything not to thick, like a second skin is good. Keeps you moving freely and if you have the right material you will be at a suitable temp.

Like the tops on Lec' link.
