They are accurately sized, in my experience.

Bonus: Made in America.
If you haven't tried the Colossal jersey yet, I would suggest it. It's a relatively newer product. https://www.aerotechdesigns.com/big-m...al-jersey.html

These run large for the size. They are a very relaxed cut and fit.

I concur though, I don't really like the feel of a jersey clinging tightly to me all around. But once I get into a ride, the sensation of the jersey goes away and it's OK. I only wear them on the longest rides, otherwise just a tech tee. And always athletic shorts with pockets (sometimes with a padded liner, usually just tightie whities)

I have received several complements on my Bio hazard jersey. It is ORANGE and can be seen for miles and miles and miles...(I have been listening to too much WHO). Maybe it is because of the way I smell at the end of my ride.

The Falconi is larger/longer. It is very plain for those that don't want writing. If it had long sleeves..I would have bought 2.


BTW, I am still wanting a John Deere Green one with a big ORANGE triangle on the back.

BTW2, I think to get noticed the best thing to do would get flesh coloured shorts and jersey.

Ebay can be your friend here. Most are from China so take that for what it's worth. Many a used one that is a name brand.

By the way which one did you get for $24.95? I don't see any for that price unless it's a specific brand.

*edit, I see them now and not just in neon!

My problem is that I'm a bit taller than the average person (though it sounds like there are a number of taller folks on this thread). The whole S,ML, XL, 2XL, etc. thing doesn't really work for me (especially for bibs). And folks don't make XLT cycling apparel.

How tall are you? I'm 5'10" and regular length shirts tend to be belly shirts.

Well, I'm 6 foot with a 30" inseam, if you can understand what means for my torso length, and those Colossal jersey's from Aerotech are massive and hang down past my arse. Worth looking into. I don't think I'll be buying another-- they are huge.
