Any suggestions for cycling tanks that aren't form-fitting? I currently wear sleeveless jerseys, but I'd prefer something without a collar plus a little more exposure... in the shoulder area that is! Most of the ones I've seen are tight, and, after having two children, the ten pounds I'd like to lose are all in the abdomen. Loose is better. Definitely.

I bought this model, Sun Goddess (http://www.terrybicycles.com/detail.html?item_no=1182&c=Apparel), from Terry about 3-4 years ago. It fits much like you describe. I have the older Peggy Sue pattern. It is quite comfortable.

I bought a Terry Roubaix tank last year and it drapes looser than other sleeveless jerseys. TE carries it in plus sizes. Maybe they can get it in other sizes as well.

You might try Shebeest's Bellissima or Easy V jerseys, too. TE carries them and they're described as having more of a relaxed fit. I have two short sleeved Bellissima jerseys and I think the fit is very flattering. I really like the material, too. It's light and airy.

Either way, I'd suggest giving either Terry or TE a call if you have any questions about their product lines. I've talked to Susan at TE in the past and it's great to get her opinion on a particular product.

You doing RAIN this year, HG?

You doing RAIN this year, HG?

Absolutely! It's what keeps me motivated to ride in those bone-chilling, mind-numbing, single-digit temperatures in January.

It's also comfy and fun to take a t-shirt you like and cut the sleeves off.
Sometimes I leave a bit of a cap on the tops of the sleeves to protect my shoulders more from the sun. It's a cool breezy solution.

+1 for the Shebeest Bellissima. I like loose fitting tops as well, and these are really comfortable. I get the XL size usually.

I have a couple of the Terry Switchback tanks. They are very comfortable and looser fitting.
