Go One Size Up I’m 5’11”, 195 and have broad shoulders and a 44″ chest due to weight lifting for the past 30+ years. My usual shirt size is L. I read the other reviews and they are spot-on. An XL fits perfectly in the shoulders and chest while being slightly fitted in the body. You won’t feel like a squeezed piece of meat in tight cellophane wearing this item. I also don’t want a bicycle shirt to scream “I’m a tool.” This shirt does the trick as it’s a solid one color with different colors on the shoulders only. The shoulder colors compliment the solid shirt well. It’s a more conservative bicycle shirt. The shirt is so nice that I bought four different colors.The shirt back has three pockets, is not too long and the fabric wicks away moisture with ease. I do find pockets with zippers in some running shirts. I’d like future models to have a zipper on at least one of the back pockets as I’m usually concerned items will fall out.
View CommentA Bit More Relaxed than Expected, but a Great Value First, the only complaint. When I open the package and put on the jersey for the first time, it was looser than expected. Every jersey I own is a medium and the fit in the shoulders was perfect–medium was the correct size. The problem was the expectation based on the the description of “semi-form fit.” it has a more relaxed fit than any of my jerseys with the exception of my mountain bike specific jerseys. In addition to being loose, it is noticeably longer than my other jerseys. (As a point of reference, I am 5’9″ and weigh 145 lbs.)That is the only complaint. I took the jersey out for a test run today and was pleasantly surprised. I ride in the desert southwest where it is hot and dry. It took a minute or two to just used to my jersey flapping a little, but once adjusted I was very pleased. The jersey wicks the moisture very effectively and kept me cool for the whole ride. I have always thought a tighter jersey was more effective at wicking away moisture…
