Thanks for all of the input! It's definitely nice to know that I'm not the only one with this issue.

My husband was a sweetie and did the research to find me a long enough tri-suit for a b-day gift. Which is actually how I ended up on this site. So I'm covered in that regard. But for training and longer rides with friends I'll need a jersey.

Do any of you ride with something other then a jersey?

I was curious if some of you would mention trying men's jerseys. This too had crossed my mind. I'm just wondering if they will be small enough everywhere else. I don't mind roomier clothing just not when riding. What North Dakota lacks in hills it makes up with in wind so the added fabric is just left flapping in the breeze.

The bib-shorts are a good idea. Question though, do they tend to get uncomfortable with the added straps of a sports bra or isn't it to noticible? Also, do they make you want to take up wrestling? (always the mental image I get when thinking of them.)

I'll search around a bit for some the brands you ladies listed. It's really to bad a fair amount of them don't list the length under product information.

Hopefully the TE sales reps will be able to answer that. It's great to know they are helpful.
