Can't stand elastic! The first jersey my husband bought me had it in the waist and the hips. Yuck. I only buy Terry jerseys because they have nice styles with no elastic. I am thin, but my hips are a size bigger than my waist, which is small. The elastic at the bottom rides up to my waist! Then i get cold (or sunburned). I have a vest that has elastic and I am about to ditch it; it's a Pearl Izumi. The only time the elastic doesn't ride up is if the rest of the jersey is way too big on me.
