I'll bring my collection of AV attire to the Diablo ride on Saturday to try on. That'll be a women's size Med short-sleeve (club cut), a women's size med sleeveless (race cut, since club cut isn't available in sleeveless, alas), size small armwarmers, and a size small (unisex) windvest.
I had purchased the size small (unisex) windvest in a fit of optimism back when I was about 10 pounds lighter than I am now. It was a bit snug on my hips even back then, but now that I've piled back on the pounds
I think it would fit someone with size 8 hips. Not "optimistic" (or delusional) size 8, a real size 8I don't like my clothing too snug, so maybe someone who wears a size 10 would tolerate it, but I sure don't.
So, if anyone is interested, I'd be glad to sell my unisex small windvest, which has never been worn, and I'll order myself a medium. The windvest is absolutely stunning, by the way.
I'd just as soon sell it to someone at the Diablo ride this Saturday, or someone who is going to be at the Little Red Riding Hood ride, so I don't need to deal with postage (altho I could be talked into express-mailing it to someone so they get it prior to LRRH). So first dibs go to anyone at the Diablo ride or is doing LRRH. Please PM me. Cost is whatever the windvests are going for in the current order.

SK - What a cool story...and another vote for wanting to read the 'long version'!
Whomever designed this jersey did a bang up job! I also feel a bit like an interloper here as such a newbie to this forum, but I'm definitely planning on placing an order. If I get a wind vest, I could probably get away with wearing it over my MS team jersey for our ride here in September, right? That said...I really need more sleeveless jerseys. Hmmm....how to decide which items I want/need?!

If we order the wrong size, would it be possible to send it back and get another size? (I'd pay for the shipping, of course!)

Sorry, this is a custom order, one time shot. You really need to find a shop stocking Voler or someone who has one or use the sizing chart. Voler is used for a lot of event and race team jerseys.
Post your height, weight, bust size, anything that will help us help you. Someone may be very similar in build and can give you a recommendation. Again, what jerseys fit you well for comparison?Frends know gud humors when dey is hear it. ~ Da Crockydiles of ZZE.

Sizing samples
I have a gigantic box of sizing samples (including thermal stuff) coming tomorrow. I will have it with me Saturday to try after the ride, so everyone who can needs to be there!
I must ship back by June 12 but will do my best to have them available locally.
Other sizing ideas are to check with your local clubs, many of whom use Voler jerseys.Frends know gud humors when dey is hear it. ~ Da Crockydiles of ZZE.

SK, what was the style name of the jersey again? The Cinderella jersey for this year is the SQ Pro and it runs very snug, especially if you're at all busty. Is the AV jersey the SQ Pro, as well?

Hey, SK... Wasn't there something about Voler jersey fit that had to do with the fabric they used? I tried your LRRH medium club jersey. It fits me differently than my AV medium club jersey. So if people try on Voler products in a store, they need to know size, cut and fabric. Don't they?Not trying to make things more complicated....
I'd also like to mention that the arm warmers run a little small. They are called "unisex" sizing. I would normally consider myself a unisex small. But I have medium arm warmers, and they are just about right. Unisex small arm warmers would have been too small for me.

The LRRH jersey was a race with the elastic taken out. It is also made from AriesMicroPlus which stretch more than the SQPro which is used for the AV jersey.

Advertising campaign for the AV jersey
Hey folks- I'm going to the Great Western Bike Rally in Paso Robles this weekend. I'll be wearing my AV jersey to as many rides as I can (there are lots!) I'll bet we get some takers!!!
AND, this will give other women an incentive to join the TE group. Double dipping here for a good cause!
Not sure what I will be ordering, but you can count on me for something as well. (Probably a long sleeve jersey and maybe a vest)

Sorry, didn't realize. I'll look around for Voler, but the Cannondale large jerseys usually fit me well. Same with Sugoi. Pearl Izumi's are usually too short for my long-ish torso. Originally Posted by SadieKate

Does anyone know how a Voler jersey compare to Louis Garneau? Particularly for the sleeveless version? I have an LG race sleeveless in a S that fits well...
Thanks!
Edited to add: I'm asking about women's versions. TIA!Last edited by GLC1968; 05-25-2006 at 10:31 AM.
