ride jerseys?

I too find that men's or supposedly "unisex" jerseys don't work for me. Although I have long arms for my height, I have a shortish torso so they fit oddly. Particularly when I stuff the back pockets!!!!!

I saw one of those Primal Wear Thunderbird jerseys- I just loved it- so I am ordering one.

But- I've tried wearing a "real" cycling jersey in the past and I found it bunched up around my middle. So the question is- do I need a bigger one? It seemd to fit okay-
or is that what they do?

Since I'm still a bit chunky- okay a lot chunky-
I wear the man's or unisex jersey. I hate shortsleeves -it just doesn't go for me- I've got big arms and shoulders and it just feels uncomfortable to wear- not because of the fit but because of me I guess...and the ladies XL jerseys just don't fit. Period. Too small.

I've tried the Zoic Libertee flat seamed cycling shirts- they are totally wonderful- the same size jersey as the one I had that bunched up too- but the Libertee fits great- like a tee shirt, but still wicks sweat and is comfy. The drawback is that it doesn't have the back pockets. Which is really okay because I wear a camelback most of the time....
I have 4 of them- dark colours were all I could get,so they aren't too good in extremely sunny weather- but the comfort outweighs that! And we haven't had the incredible intense hot and humid weather this year, yet.

But I totally fell in love with that Thunderbird jersey.
Gotta have it!
I'm gonna get a bigger size though- I don't mind if it's looser- I'm gonna be mountain biking anyway...
