Every jersey needs to fit exactly like Hind, just sayin'. Seriously. Their small feels like it was custom cut for ME! I wish they still made cycling jerseys.

I have a Hind long sleeve pullover in bright orange that I use mostly for running and hiking that I love, love, love. Are they no longer in business or just not making certain types of gear anymore?

Overall, I would agree that Pearl Izumi jerseys tends to run abit small. I am small or extra-small myself. Without the jersey being tight on me. (I can't stand tight jerseys while cycling.)I'm thinking Pearl Izumi seems to run exceptionally small. I'm generally a small in pretty much anything of a SML system, but I bought one of their jerseys on ebay and it seemed really tiny. Not sure if it's the brand or if I just got an odd style.
I don't see anything wrong that certain manfacturer's lines run small or larger or whatever. We're all different sizes and shapes.
There is a potentially large market of women (for cycling wear) who would fall into my size category..outside of North America. But for current sales, it's interesting....maybe Pearl Izumi has a great market niche somewhere in the world that we don't quite know which there are women who would be buying smaller/tighter fit.My Personal blog on cycling & other favourite passions.

I have a hard time fitting comfortably into ANY Pearl Izumi jerseys. Even their XL's tend to feel snug on me. Yet I easily own about 8 pairs of PI shorts and tights...the majority in M, and 1 pair (their Thermal Elite tight) in L. I'm not particularly big-busted (38C), so I'm not really sure why their tops never seem to fit me well. Perhaps it's my wider lats (from years of weight lifting and swimming) that are causing the fit issues.

There's no cycling gear on their website when I just looked. Originally Posted by indysteel

Saucony bought Hind...but I think they're pretty much exclusively running gear, unfortunately. Originally Posted by indysteel
