I just read you don't want flowers, but maybe another with the material? It is really light and breathable!

One thing i'd like to point out is for very hot weather - try a good summer/heat baselayer by Craft, Giordana, Pearl. I know it sounds counter intuitive but they exist for a reason. They're made specifically to cool your body down.

Twice a week I ride out of where I work in North Jersey because of the mountains. These kinds of rides are ones where you're going 9 mph or 38 mph and very little in between. This season I started wearing a wicking baselayer during hot days and it really does work. Yes you obviously sweat but you never feel overly hot and I think that is the key to their existence. Geez, now I feel nake if I ever get on the bike without one!

I have the sleeveless Giordana for the hottest weather and I love it: http://www.competitivecyclist.com/za...130&MODE=&TFC=

And for weather up to 75*F, I love the Craft short sleeve. I like this because the sleeves are slightly longer than jersey short sleeves so you can tuck them up or they anchor arm warmers very well if it's cooler outside: http://www.performancebike.com/shop/...tegory_ID=1123

Coming in late to the party here....

But I agree with Equus123 here.
I've become a base-layer convert this year. I use (a tad too often - I need to get a second one!) the Under Armour Heat Gear base layer. I got it at REI, but it's also at other places. At first, I was hesitant to wear TWO layers on a hot day, but it does a great job at wicking sweat and keeping me comfy. And, as an added bonus, I have not had the acne issue I've had in season's past because of too much sweat on my skin for too long.

The Terry Breakaway sleeveless jersey has also been comfy for me on really hot rides.

Of course, when it gets TOO hot and sticky down here...I stay inside in the air conditioning!

but, but, but, if I wait until it cools off, that would be November. I'm currently lusting after the mesh jerseys I saw in the Terry catalogue.
Also lusting for an icicle...

Just another vote for this jersey. I just ordered it, and although we don't have hot weather, I am going to take it to Shasta. It feels wonderful on, and fits great. It is very light weight and after I washed it, it was dry in NO time. That doesn't often happen up here in rainforest-land.

Thanks! Seems to be popular enough to try. Not sure on the sizing though. I see it's listed as 'semi-fitted'.. is that accurate or should I size down if I like more of a pro fit?

My husband bought the Sugoi jersey for me in the medium since he saw all of my other jerseys are mediums. Even with a generous bust I probably could wear a small. I didn't return it because I felt I was in between the small and medium. If you like more pro fit I would go down a size. The waist flares slightly and has no elastic, so down a size will probably give a slimmer fit.
