Bad fit
- Familiarity:
- I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Similar to another reviewer's experience, this was an ill-fitting jersey: too snug around the shoulders and very baggy around the midriff. Definitely not for those with an "inverted pyramid" type upper body. My cheap Chinese jersey fit much better than this one. The material was also fairly beefy, not something I'd appreciate on hot days. The only appeal is the style and color. I purchased the Orbit Blue jersey. The website shows a white zipper, but the zipper of the actual product was black.

Stylish but really weird fit
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
Love the look and quality of the jersey but the fit is really weird (Lg). It fits great on my shoulders, neck, and arms but it's kind of baggy around the waste\stomach area. It feels like I could size down (Md) but having done so, the neck was so tight and constricting that I went back to a large. The back of the jersey sags as well because of this design. When you carry a few items in the pockets it hangs pretty low. I also found the fit to vary between the jerseys. I bought 3 of these in different colors at different times. The first 2 fit fairly well (considering) and the 3rd was a bit more loose than the others around the stomach. I would definitely follow the size chart and take your measurements to ensure you get the right size or as close to it as possible. I fit closer to the medium side but found the top of the jersey to be too constricting in that size where as the large fit right at the top but weird at the bottom.
