    Hah! I just ordered and received a bolero (light blue), which fits perfectly and a pair of the knee warmers, which are also the first leg/knee warmers that actually fit me. When I opened the package, I read through the catalogue that was included. I'm no prude either, but a few of these items seem a bit "sexy" for riding. The prints are beautiful and the things I bought are well made, but I wonder who buys a jersey that has a giant keyhole opening in the front...

    Well, I wouldn't buy a keyhole top becuase it might create a really weird tan...
    But generally speaking, I do like biking apparel that is somewhat "sexy"- meaning form fitting or with flattering curvy seams and lines. I love my better biking body as opposed to my former flabbier heavier self- and I like to wear my new body with pride. I confess I LIKE to look sexy!
    (not to be confused with looking like a "cheap ho" though, but I don't see too many biking clothes looking like that...)

    I like tight jerseys, too. But, the image some of the models projected looked more "ho" than sexy athletic to me. Just my opinion, I haven't seen anyone around here ever wearing her jerseys.

    Hmm...well I haven't seen their catalog- just their website, where I can't seem to find any ho-ettes.
    I "like" the styles I've seen so far, but wouldn't maybe wear some of them.
    I think some of their stuff has cool styling.

    Actually, my only problem with SM apparel is that they name their things somewhat deceptively, as though they were all wool, when they aren't at all. "Men's Dri-release Wool Tank", "Dri-Release Wool Fleece Euro Cycling Cap", "Dri-Release Wool Fleece Knee Warmers", etc, makes it seem like these things are made of wool, not wool blends. In fact, they all contain only 11% actual wool, the other 81% is polyester and other synthetics. They are not going to behave like wool garments, or have wool's typical characteristics. Nothing inherently wrong with using blends, but I just wish they'd CALL them polyester/wool blends up front to begin with, instead of putting that info under "Specifications, Dri-Release Wool Fleece:....". Some people think they are ordering "real" wool leg warmers, etc.
