The most important thing for me though is the woman's STYLE jersey. I have
a few men's (from before i figured it out) and the dumb things always ride up because i happen to have hips.
I just bought a nice jersey from TE without elastic, it fits, it's really nice.
i don't like tight elastic.

I take the elastic out and hem the jersey. It's not a professional job, but it works.

I must be in the minority, but I actually like the elastic fit waist. I like the tight aerodynamic fit - perhaps it's psychological, but I sure feel faster when I wear them!!!!

I am shortwaisted and have hips and a matronly abdomen. Elastic just doesn't work. I too take it out and do my own hem job.
It's about the journey and being in the moment, not about the destination

Gah! I can't ever get the darn stuff to stay where it is suppose to! If I get a jersey with elastic, out it comes.

I'm with you Cusepak... I also like the aerodynamics of the fit with elastic, but it is also a necessity because I carry so much in my pockets (mostly food - I'm gluten and casein intolerant and I can't count on finding food that I can eat when I'm riding). In my elastic-free jerseys I find that the stuff in my pockets bounces up and down and is extremely annoying and distracting when I ride. Also, I don't have to worry about my cell phone or wallet flying out!
