Well, I'd be willing to put up with swirls and butterflies if they were on jerseys that actually fit me. Men's cycling clothing usually goes up to size huge (5XL in some manufacturers) while women's only goes up to a small XL at best. Some of these same manufacturers have a really tiny offering of "plus" size female clothing, which implies that, while being a really large tall man is perfectly normal, a large tall woman is just a freak. And even these "plus" size clothes rarely fit. The last pair of "Athena" shorts that I bought only had an 8" inseam, which made me feel really self-conscious.
Agreed! Shorts aren't as difficult for me to find, but tops are a nightmare.
