Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Decente semi-contour

I was looking at this jersey and on Decente's website it ways that it has a semi-contour fit. I was just wondering how many of you have tried similar jerseys and if you would share your experiences with the fit. I'm a pretty skinny guy at 5'6" and 125 lbs. and was wondering about this jersey.

If I was your size I would buy all of my jerseys on Ebay not to many people competing on the bids when you are that small.

Plus on the Descente jersey thats a nice jersey for the price, I have always been happy with my Descente purchases.

I have one of those jerseys. I weigh 160 pounds and size medium is a little loose on me. Descente jerseys fit somewhat baggier than the popular Italian and Swiss brands. If you only weigh 125 pounds, a medium is way too big. However, Descente jerseys are also short in the waist. If you buy size small, I would expect your belly button to be showing. My advice is to try a skinnier brand like Santini.
