Jerseys for women over 6ft

[nafula]

Does every woman struggle with their jersey riding up in the back, or is it just me? Mine usually rides up to either the top of my shorts, or just above, and I can't figure out if its because I have hips, or if its because I'm so tall.

The other problem, because it sits so far up my back, I actually have a hard time reaching my pockets on the back. Its a good thing I'm flexible, otherwise I'd never reach my gu.

If its from being tall, any suggestions on how to find a longer jersey, short of wearing a men's?

I wish I could help. I am one of the shorter women on the list (almost everything is long on me, especially sleeves). Maybe the taller girls will have some advice.

Tall guys have the same problem (even without hips) - its why many of them, and some women too, like to wear bib shorts. Someone recently pointed out that race cut jerseys have been getting shorter and shorter to give sponsors more real estate on the riders' backsides (makes sense - what do you see the most during coverage of a race ), but "Club cut" jerseys may be longer with bigger pockets - the caveate is that they are also baggier everywhere else too.

I'm 5'8" and have the same problem. If I purchase a women's cut jersey - the botton usually sit just at my waist. The pockets are up in the middle of my back and my arms just aren't that flexible to reach behind into the pocket to get a GU. I usually have to stop.

I am so surprise manufacturers have not consider that not all women are 5' - 5'5" or want to have they belly or backside show while riding. For now I either buy men's jerseys or when available loose cut or club style.

I'm short, but maybe I can help. I've found that a lot of Castelli jerseys run long, and some Sugoi, Hincapie and TrashyCat depending on the style.

Craft jerseys and jackets also run fairly long.
