Review: Canari Summerweight SPF Jersey.
I've had bad luck with Canari in the past.
But hope springs eternal, and I really wanted a breathable SPF jersey in screaming yellow: http://www.teamestrogen.com/prodCA_2878P.html
The fabric is soft, light, and cool. Breezes whoosh right through it. Screaming yellow is seriously bright.
The body has a great relaxed cut. Very flattering and comfortable. Generously long drop-tail, no elastic at the hem.
The pocket in the back doesn't have a zip, but is deep enough that nothing seems to want to fly out.
The sleeves are about 4 inches too short.
I'm not kidding. A good FOUR INCHES TOO SHORT. And I bought a XXL. (cuz I'm fat and tall) Astounding!
Everything about this jersey is fabulous, except the ridiculous Tyrannosaurus rex sleeves.
Was it worth $55? Not to me. When I want SPF, I want more than just half my forearm covered when my hands are on the bars.
Am I gonna keep it? Yeah. It's bright and it fits over my huge hips. My PI screaming yellow vest doesn't fit me at all right now, and I need something bright and visible.
Bottom line: don't buy this if you are tall, or if you find Shebeest or Ibex sleeves to be perfect. (if you find Shebeest sleeves to be too long for you, the Canari might be just what you are looking for with its petite sleeves.)
