    That's the coolest jersey I've EVER seen! Am interested in a short-sleeve jersey and arm warmers. I generally take XL in everything (unfortunately). Am 5'4", 175 (but shapely). Don't suppose anyone here is anywhere near my shape, but if you are, you can confirm what I think I already know, ie, "XL" . . . And what size for arm warmers? My upper arm measures 13".

    I'll be on a week-long bike tour around August 7 timeframe, but delivery timeframe should be something that can be worked out with snap, I hope.

    Thanks for this super "thread"

    One "hole" in my wardrobe is a thermo vest. Matching arm warmers would go well with that, if they fit. I do have black ones, Sugoi, XL. Will XL in these fit the same? I'll check the measurements list for the vest fit. But I'll wait til Monday or Tuesday to place to order. Don't want to count my insurance chickens before the settlement offer is on the table.

    I'm five-four, 124# and barely fill out a 36 B. Think a small jersey would do the trick? I am trying to decide between long or short sleeved.

    I was thinking just that!

    As for elastic...meh, I could go either way. I have a couple of jerseys that have it and the elastic never stays put. My favorite jersey, a Zoic, doesn't have it, so I may go that route.

    I think I will wait until LRRH and just try one on, uh, most likely pre ride! I'll be there early anyway.

    Yellow, your opinion for Tater? Not many people ordered smalls.

    Tater, do you like race cut jerseys? In other words, traditional jerseys with eleastic at the bottom? You might be able to go either way depending on your hips. I hate elastic because it rides up and settles around my waist leaving a very unattractive gap of white goo showing.

    Ok, I'm still having issues with the sizing. According to the chart, I'd be a small in every category except hips. Is that reason enough to order up for a medium? I have one jersey that is a little big, and the flapping in the breeze annoys me, so I'm torn.

    I'm 5'4", 34A/B with a 27" waist...all my weight is in my butt and legs...so I'm pretty small on top.

    Small or medium?

    Lesee...You have 2 inches on me and I am a 36A. I have the women's club cut in a small and wish that I had a med. It fits, but more snugly than I like. I have muscular arms/back/shoulders, so that may be part of why it fits the way it does. I am generally pretty true to a small in just about everything.

    In Voler's OTHER fabric, I'm comfy in a small race cut. But as SK noted, this fabric fits a little tighter, hence the "smaller" feel.

    Tater, we'll have our AV jerseys at the LRRH. You can try them on (pre- or post-ride )

    OK, another question

    As the weather finally warms up in Chicago, I'm leaning more to sleeveless vs. jacket (yeah, Corsair, I know, get both!)

    So now I'm debating--sleeveless jersey vs. windvest. It looks like the windvest could even be worn on its own as a jersey. Does anyone else own a windvest?

    wellllllllllllllllllllll - since I would REAAAAALLLLLLLLLYYYYYYYYY LOVEEEEEEEE to have a LS jersey, I'm voting that you NEED the LS jersey at the least - but then come summer you'll just Kick yourself if you don't have the short sleeved also....................so get both!!!
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"

    Hey Corsair - Thanks for helping me justify my purchase of both long and short sleeve.
