Sugoi's Wallaroo cycling top offers fine comfort and performance. This basic and versatile shirt comes in either long sleeve, short sleeve or sleeveless options. You'll find yourself looking for opportunities to wear it, either as a lightweight liner under another jersey or as a snazzy-looking top layer in its own right. At prices around $60-80, this will be an investment in your cycling wardrobe that will pay off over many rides.

Guide Review - Sugoi Wallaroo Merino Wool Cycling Shirt.

The Wallaroo cycling top by Sugoi is not a jersey, but I'd wear it by itself. It's not purely a liner either, but I use it all the time underneath a long-sleeve full jersey on colder days. So how do you describe it? Well, let's just say that the Wallaroo is kind of like the tagline Visa uses. It's everything you want it to be.

Sugoi's Wallaroo is made of 100% merino wool, which means that the material used to produce the shirt is thin, soft and luxurious and feels a lot like cashmere. Though this is true wool, it doesn't feel bulky like the wool sweater your grandmother might have given you at Christmas. This makes the Wallaroo so comfortable, you could wear it to bed.

The Wallaroo is available is a variety of colors, including black, navy and heather, and in enough configurations of sleeves and patterns you're certain to find just what you like.
