A quick google search came up with REI. Looks like they have the S/M in stock:

I have the L/XL- and I went by the size chart, and it seems a _little_ big, but I like that fit, so I love it. The sleeves are a bit loose, so they fall down over my hands and are warm, but loose enough to push up as it warms up. I absolutely love this clothing item- one of my best cycling clothing purchases ever.

Hey nanci, does it fit ok over a short sleeve jersey? I don't have any sleeveless, but I have that bunched up armpit feeling!!!!!

I wear it over LS, even. Is totally doesn't bunch. I'm not home, but I want to say there isn't even anything under the armpit. I will look when I get home. It has never done anything irritating. It fits kind of loosely along the back in a standing position, but in a cycling position that snugs up.

I have the smaller one - cat's in my lap, so I can't check the size.:) Anyway, I've worn it over a long sleeve jersey. Somewhere I wrote about taking it off while riding. It can be done, if you have good balance. :D Oh, and it never felt bunched up to me.

It's weird to take off, you have to pull it by the sleeves, but I _still_ am in the habit of grabbing the front that isn't there. I love mine- did I mention that?

I grab my bolero behind my neck and pull it off that way.

This is a personal ? But was size is your chest/breast ? I can tell if a large would work for me if I knew what your size is. I am a 36 B.

It doesn't look like it's supposed to go over your chest, so I don't know if that is a factor or not. By the way, piermontbike.com has them for $31.00.

A very saggy 38.5 B :-) It doesn't go over that area, though, but I have always had a pretty wide back. I mean, the boobs don't account for much of the total measurement!

awwww. I am sending uplifting good thoughts your way Nanci!

I've also got the L/XL and it fits slightly loose but I know that the S/M would probably be a little too snug. I'm a 36D with broad football player shoulders, if that helps.

Yes it does
I tend to have larger then normal arms from carving and shoveling.

Oh yeah, my upper arm circumference (measured right up near the armpit) is 13". Rosie the Riveter Arms! :cool:

Brandi

mine is 12 inches. Would the l/xl still work for me?

Piermont Bike won't have them in for "another 10 days", although their website gives no indication that they're not in stock. :p

Cr@p! I knew I had big arms, so after hearing Brandi and Dianyla's measurements I had to check. 13.5" under the armpits:eek: . Thanks a lot ladies....:p

Thanks a lot ladies....:p i am sorry but it sounds like we all average about the same. How tall are you? i am 5'3 weigh about 142. But i seem to be at where i need to be cause i never loose and never seem to gain. Except for water weight. if you are in shape your arms are probably fine.

Brandi

I still can't figure out what size to get?

SadieKate

Brandi, what size jerseys do you wear and in what brands?

Med in sheebeast and nema pretty much all of my stuff is med. Ahh i remember when i wore a size 1 i think I was 13. But some times stuff fits tight in the arm shoulder area. and tis seems like one of those type of clothing you need some advise on?

Nanci

Brandi,

I'm 5'2", 146#, and my upper arm is 12.5". I wear size 12, mostly.

Nanci L/XL Bolero is perfect.

TE does free shipping on exchanges...

Brandi

sounds like i have a winner! l/xl it is then!

Dianyla

Brandi, I also wear Medium for Shebeest/Nema tops. Large in other brands. I think you've got the right size figured out.

Cr@p! I knew I had big arms, so after hearing Brandi and Dianyla's measurements I had to check. 13.5" under the armpits:eek: . Thanks a lot ladies....:p
Oh dear, do we need to revisit the calf measurements thread? :rolleyes:

Brandi
04-05-2006, 10:53 AM
Calf 14, thigh 25! There i said it!

Nanci
04-05-2006, 10:54 AM
Brandi, you're like my body double, almost!

Thigh 23" (would like to slim down) Calf 13.5 (would like to muscle up!)

I thought you looked familiar! And I love bird watching!!!!! Wait my waist is 29!

Nanci

Only one person on this board knows my waist measurement! I'm just happy to not be a 42/40/44 cube any more!!

lol, Brandi, I'm just giving you grief. I've always had big pipes and have been self conscience. But they are rock hard:D . Calf - 14, thigh - 22.25. I'm NOT giving my waist measurement!:eek: I'm 5'6" and 145 (urghh). Tis the thorn in my side these days....

Yes, we're out of stock on boleros at the worst possible time of year to be out of stock on such a thing. It's perfect armwarmer weather in much of the country right now.

Terry is out of stock, hence WE are out of stock, having sold through everything we had in s/m about 3 weeks ago. Our ETA on s/m is 4/15.

Hope this helps.
