    When you're talking about jerseys, it doesn't really matter which one you get as long as you like how it fits. I personally like the look of the men's ones better because I don't like loud patterns or most with floral designs. I also prefer longer jerseys because I'm long in the torso and most women's jerseys are too short anyhow.

    I wish I could wear men's jerseys...all the funny ones are men's cut. Unfortunately the elastic in the bottoms of them wants to ride up to my relatively narrow waist (women's jerseys with elastic do this, too) and the ones that fit through my boobs fit weird everywhere else.

    Cali, I'd just recommend trying a bunch of different ones on and buying several of what you like the fit of, best (I wish I had the budget for more Twin 6 jerseys ).

    My favorite jersey is a men's jersey. However, I buy a lot of men's clothes anyway. I actually wear men's jeans because I cannot find women's jeans that fit properly, if I get them to fit in the waiste they are too long. So I've just given up all together on buying women's jeans and close to giving up on women's slacks and exclusively buying men's jeans and slacks. I can find men's that fit perfectly. Almost all my non work shirts are mens, mostly because I love sports and most are sports shirts.

    Pockets! Men's jerseys always have 3 large pockets in back. Women's jerseys have much smaller pockets, sometimes two, sometimes only one. I want the bigger pockets for all my stuff.

    have been wearing mens jeans, and jerseys for years. I also wear some women's jerseys, but the majority are mens. Not only do they fit better, but I will not buy a jersey without three pockets- which mens almost always have, plus they seem to go on sale more often and are usually bit less expensive to begin with. I have a mental list of the brands and the sizes and types that fit me and then I shop on line when I need something. Mens jeans are definitely less expensive than womens.

    I prefer the men's jerseys also because there is more room through the chest, I like the longer length and I like the deeper pockets. The elastic bottoms don't ride up on me and actually make is so that the jersey stays down and doesn't ride up. Most of the bike shops refer to the clothing and shoes as unisex. I know my size in the major brands, like Voler, Canari, Primal Wear, Vomax, Hincapie and Free Spirit. I love the Free Spirit jerseys the most, located at http://www.freespirit.com. I've gotten some real nice jerseys off of eBay for just a few dollars because I know which size I wear in the major jersey makers. However I love to buy the jerseys that go with an event ride. I am doing this century on June 4 and look how cool the jersey is: http://www.primalwear.com/p-2415-pio...ns-jersey.aspx

    Interesting that so many of us are better off in men's jerseys. They don't fit me well, they always roll up around my waist.
