Sugoi jerseys

[jobob]

Every now & then I come across a post by someone wishing that women's jerseys were made for more womanly figures.

For those of you who don't know, I've found Sugoi women's jerseys to be cut very generously on top.

I'm fairly flat-chested and the 2 Sugoi jerseys I've purchased in the past were both extremely loose for me in the chest (comically so ) which is a drag because I really love the Sugoi jerseys TE is carrying for spring & summer (small plug for our sponsor !). Oh well.

hope this helps, - Jo

For those of you who don't know, I've found Sugoi women's jerseys to be cut very generously on top.

I am "generously" proportioned top and bottom, and my Sugoi jersey is very comfortable, although to be honest I haven't found any jersey I can't wear comfortably.

All I need to find is a jersey that likes my hips =/ Especially those with elastic at the waist; they just ride up to my waist, which is really annoying.

Shebeest!!! I think they're the best for fitting those of us with Rubeneque figures and are vertically challenged. I also thinking their sizing is consistent no matter what the model jersey.

In general, Sugoi jerseys that don't have elastic are pretty generously proportioned but run long. So if you're long in the torso, they could be a good bet. I also think that jerseys marketing for mountain biking can be more generously tailored but the styles and colors can be very different than those marketing for the road.

A little tip for fit if you're going mail order: raglan-shouldered jerseys will tend to fit the less-well endowed better than jerseys with set-in sleeves and vice versa.

I just bought my first Sugoi jersey - mens. I just can't seem to get into this womens jersey thing yet. I did try, 2 of them, don't ask me which brand and they were too tight in the armholes and the whole princess seaming thing bugged me. I kept tugging the jersey to try and get more room across the chest. I also don't understand why womens jerseys have shorter zippers and less pockets! What's up with that?? But I bought the Sugoi Cooper Rally jersey which is Just too cute!!

Have you tried Primal Wear women's jerseys? They have a zipper that goes all the way to the bottom and three waterbottle pouch type pockets on the back. No zippered pockets, though. In fact, when I emailed Primal about the differences between men's and women's jerseys, it sure sounded like the only difference was the size. The elastic waist annoys me, though, as I described above.

Actually I own several Mens Primal Wear Jerseys. (see my avatar..thats one of them) The Primal womens sleeveless jerseys are princess seamed but I haven't looked at the s/s. As for the size, I take a mens L, I think the womens would be an XL or XXL. I just hate to spend that kind of money and not be comfortable in it. I did buy my previous 2 womens jerseys at my LBS where I could try them on and they fit fine....until I was actually out riding in them. I ended up giving them to a smaller-busted fellow female rider and went back to mens jerseys. It could just be that's what I've become used to over the years. And I saw some jerseys with the zippered pockets and thought - that was an accident waiting to happen with me. Trying to unzip the pocket while still pedaling! EEEKKKKK

Uhm I think our "men" are supposed to carry our spare tubes, pumps, energy bars, cells phones and stuff...ya know? And change our flats. And lube our chains.

Yeah right!

Don't get me started.

I have an old team jersey by Sugoi (mens) and it's one of my favorites!

To be fair, the zipper on my men's Sugoi is still shorter than the zipper on my other team jerseys (Louis Garneau, Pactimo, Voler). It's never bothered me because the fabric is nice and ventilated and I don't feel the need to unzip.

I have a ginormous camelbak for all that crap. I haven't quite figured out what roadies have against big camelbaks, other than that it's not cool or something =P

well There ya go....that's my problem! I'm too busy focusing on the things that will work for me as a solo rider instead of focusing on finding a man to do those things for me! *shakes head*....
