The Oneten brand from Chain Reaction Cycles aims to offer well-priced and functional clothing, and this Merino Long Sleeve Jersey (Oneten may call is a jersey, but it’s essentially a base layer) does the job admirably. It’s warm, comfortable and easy on the wallet.
I generally choose merino over a synthetic fabric when it comes to base layers, preferring the natural warmth it offers, and the wicking, odour-resistant and anti-bacterial qualities of wool. The main downside is that merino holds on to moisture longer than a synthetic base layer but, despite that, this Oneten base layer only serves to reinforce my preference for wool.
