Some jerseys, maybe more to come...

1. SOLD. Giordana Fusion Short Sleeve Jersey, size small, pink/white. It's a 2007 jersey, and no one has the pink in stock any more, so I couldn't find a pic, but here's a pic of the jersey style:


and here's the color (keep in mind, my jersey DOES have the white stripes and piping shown in the picture above, and a full-length zipper):


Worn once. Looks brand new. This jersey is very pretty and it's nicely made as well. It's just too small for me. I'm a size 4, 5'6", 33" bust. This jersey actually fits through the shoulder and bust, but seems to be proportioned overall for someone who's closer to 5'0". I would not recommend this to someone who is thinner than me but just as tall -- I think it would fit someone shorter and size 2-4 (esp on the smaller side of that range) quite well. Asking $20 including shipping.


2. Sugoi Forma Sleeveless Jersey, size small, Rave/white. Here's a picture:


Worn a few times, but no signs of wear. This one fits me very well and generally I like it -- I'm getting rid of it because the color clashes with my bike. It has side panels (the white part) made of that nice super-wicking Sugoi mesh. Asking $15 including shipping.

3. Gore Vento vest.
This vest has never been worn, only tried on. It is black, size small. Details below:
http://www.terrybicycles.com/gore/de...l?item_no=5154

It's a nice vest and comes with its own little storage pouch. It's a trim cut, but fits me well (I'm 4/6, probably more 4ish on top, and it seems true to size, though trim as mentioned). Like everything I've had from Gore, it's tailored and finished beautifully.

So why am I selling it? It's lined in a very lightweight mesh, and for some reason the double layer feels fussy to me. As shown in the detail (if you follow the link above), the back of the vest is mostly mesh, so I imagine it is quite well ventilated, and is made with Gore windstopper, so it should also be an effective wind blocking layer.

$50 including shipping.

More notes on the Gore vest:
Fabric:
The fabric is lightweight, but not ultra lightweight and compressible like, say, Pearl Izumi's translucent Optik fabric.

It feels a bit like tyvek, perhaps a tad heavier (it's been a long time since I've actually FELT tyvek, though...). It has more of a "papery" feel than a "fabric-y" feel. It seems as though it would NOT hold moisture at all. As mentioned above, it is fully lined in a very light mesh, with a mesh back panel.

Fit:
Plenty of room in the shoulders even in a "bike tuck" (and I usually have to go up to medium in PI jackets for shoulder room). However, overall, very close-fitting. I'm an A-cup (33" chest), and the vest fits perfectly through the bust... I would imagine on a full B-cup, it would pull through the bust. It's very nicely cut (I have a few Gore jerseys and one thing I've noticed is that they tend to be very nicely tailored), but very fitted. It's not at all constricting on me, and I wouldn't even say that it runs small, but it's definitely not a "small/medium", and would fit best over a sort of "race fit" jersey, not anything too baggy.
