Where ARE the mtb jerseys??

[sundial]

I have been searching the internet for loose fit, 3/4 sleeve jerseys for mtb divas and I can't find squat. I've looked at the men's jerseys, including BMX and offroad stuff, and it looks like it would fit me like a hockey jersey. :rolleyes: If I do like the style, the color looks too......masculine. I went shopping today in the Under Armour section at Hibbet Sports and the women's is too close fitting, and the men's is too long all over. :( I've searched Fox, Oakley, Sugoi, Zoic, Troy Lee, O'Neal, Specialized, PI, Aerotech Designs, Hoss, TE, Terry, LL Bean, Land's End, Axiom, you name it. I see all the great fitting clothes on the guys in the mags, but I can't seem to find stuff for ladies that is loose and comfy too. :( Wah! Can anyone point me in the direction for longish short sleeve jerseys? :confused:

Try www.groundeffect.co.nz :) They have cool jerseys. Don't be put off by the fact they're in NZ as the shipping time's reasonable & the prices are pretty good too. Also give www.nzoactive.co.nz a shot. Both are for mtn bikers.

I have an old Ground Effect jersey that I no longer wear that i'd be willing to send to you.

CC, thanks for the links. I looked at the Ground Effects and the jerseys are really nice. But it seem to be cut form fitting for the ladies. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but I'm kinda in the mood for something cut more boxy and generous in a fabric that is wicking.

If you get a larger size they're not form fitting. Why not email the ground effect customer service, they're cool & might be able to give you some more info.

Just a thought..Have you done a search on any UK based sites?

These are l/s, but there is a nice color selection.

3/4 sleeves with gloves will give you some funky tan lines! :p

Harlot (http://www.harlotwear.com/homepage.htm)?

I dunno. Here's a big list (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&hs=O7H&sa=X&oi=spell&resnum=0&ct=result&cd=1&q=women%27s+mountain+biking+apparel&spell=1). Now you've got me shopping :o ;)

CC, I already wear XL thanks to big boobs and broad shoulders so I would have to go with a guys shirt to get a larger fit. :o I have not done a UK search.

The Loeka stuff is just darling. Thanks Alex for sharing and Zen for the website info. I discovered some cute technical t's (http://www.landsend.com/pp/ShortSleeveFitnessTshirt~180076_59.html?bcc=y&action=order_more&sku_0=::UXJ&CM_MERCH=IDX_00002__0000000557&origin=index) on Lands End for $19.95.

Fox Racing has some nice stuff and at reasonable prices: http://shop.foxracing.com/ecomm/AutoForward.do?forward=home.pagedef#itemId=Bike@@@125Jerseys&aforward=asyn&startOfPage=0&cid=146&imageStatus=1&cname=Jerseys Women' jerseys are continued on page 2.

I think Specialized does, too.

Is Fox cut kinda roomy? Cause the largest is just barely within my size.

I'm really likin' the Loeka stuff. It's really artsy and girly lookin'.

Zoic seems to have a 3/4 length jersey, http://www.zoic.com/WJRide.html, I think polyester and bamboo.

Sweet!

I got the Lands End technical tee and it's sooo comfy and roomy. Like mtb roomy. :) I was so pleased with it I bought a second one in a very dark navy and a long sleeve one for the fall/winter. It looks great paired with my Terry capris and shorts. :)
