I've had mixed success with women's jerseys. I have one Cannondale and one Pearl Izumi that both fit and work well, but I have another Pearl Izumi that I hate--it is cut too short, is made of an uncomfortable sticky fabric, & the pockets are too small (unusable for anything larger than an energy bar). I tend to wear the mens jersey's on long rides such as centuries because of the larger pocket capacity. They don't look as good, but can carry jacket, arm & leg warmers, etc. My Pearl Izumi women's long-sleeve jersey does fit very well and has good pocket capacity, but it is only suitable for winter and early spring due to its extra warmth. I think you just have to try a jersey on and check the fit and pocket capacity and note how the pockets are situated on your back (will they actually be usable?).
