I asked for a long sleeved jersey for Christmas, and DH came through with not one, but two. I'm very happy with the fit of the lightweight one. The other one is the very warm GORE alpine thermal jersey, and it is awesome, but I am not sure if the fit is right.

Question one -- is it designed to be worn with just a sports bra underneath, or with another jersey or thin layer underneath? Because the size he got me fits with no room to spare, and I'm wondering if it's the right size or if I should go up one. (Also wondering how it will fit after I've burned off the holiday fudge.) It is also not super long in the torso, and because it's tight I'm fairly sure it will ride up a bit. Women's jerseys often do, as I have a belly and the jerseys do not.
Question two -- are the sleeves intended to come up to where my thumb meets my palm? Because that's how long they are on me. Also making me wonder if going up a size might not be the solution.
Question three -- the interior is ever so slightly fuzzy, and I'm wondering if that could get annoying on rides. I might be able to squeeze a cami under it, but definitely no long-sleeve layer.
Any thoughts very much appreciated! It is a beautiful jersey, but if it's not going to be right for me, I want to figure that out and return/exchange it while I still can.
