Do you know if it fits small like the Wahini and K2-(fabric DriStyle™)or loose like the Orbit Jersey-love this one, the fabric is: (Sueded Microwic UVA). I do not know the difference if there is one between the Microwic vs. Sueded Microwic) and I am hoping you know.
Yep, there is. Microwic UV is a regular lightweight summer fabric -- what the Bellissima jerseys are made of, for example. Sueded Microwic UV is similar, but it's a midweight fabric and it's brushed on the inside so it's warmer than the regular Microwic UV. The Switchback jersey has this fabric.

How is the Orbit Jersey? Is it strictly for cool weather?

I haven't seen the jersey they have on STP, but I would think that the fit would be similar to that of the Orbit, i.e. a 'normal' cycling fit. It's probably the DriStyle fabric that makes the Retro and Wahini jerseys so tight.

Speaking of which... I wore one of my Retro jerseys last night and it looked and felt great! I bought two several months ago, in blue and pink, wore the blue one once, deemed it too tight for public consumption, and shelved them both. Now, 8 pounds lighter and having acquired a really cool Shebeest sports bra which has liberated me from bra lines under my jerseys, I felt brave and wore the blue one again last night. True, it's an XL which is a size bigger than all of my other Shebeest jerseys, but the clinginess of the fabric actually made me look slim!

So, BMo3, thank you for telling me your story and inspiring me to get back on the weight loss bandwagon!
