He's not a jerk, when you have been around here awhile you sometimes get tired of seeing the same posts and inject a little sarcasm/humor/snark , you get used to it. Just assume that the other person, no matter what the response sounds like, is typing with a smile on their face. Also I try and remember that we all here love cycling and if we stumbled upon each other at work or a party, would have a great time sharing our enthusiasm of this great activity. It lessons the venom.

I'll just say this, roadies are made fun of by every other single subforum in BF... We know it's all envy :D |
There are only 2 you should consider and it depends on the situation.
situation: standing around, choose the jersey that makes you look slim. situation: riding around, choose the jersey that makes you look fast |

The good thing is I really only need one because my girlfriend has a rule that I'm not allowed to come in from a ride until I've stripped down at the door for her to wash my clothes
Really???? Why???? Sorry but that just sounds ... odd. |

OP...I completely understand where you're coming from. Forget all the "wait until you have been here a while" lines. There is probably no topic that has not been covered at some point on this forum. It's the same logic with any topic on any forum, if one doesn't like it, one can easily not click on it. Very simple.
You can find nice jersey's on the web for sale every day. eBAY even has some nice deals if you look. Nashbar always run sales. I also like Voler, and Pactimo. Have a look at those when you get time. |

The only advice I will offer is to make sure you get a full zip jersey.
Nice to be able to open it all the way when it gets real hot, plus convenience factor when wearing bibs. |

I prefer my free Nissan jersey from Pearl Izumi to the free Cadillac one. The Nissan is light colored and has a zipper that opens at the bottom (and the test drive in the Leaf was more interesting than the one in the CTS). But both jerseys are excellent values for their cost.

I'm not above buying a Rapha jersey if it means highest quality. I need something that I won't have to buy a new jersey for a while, which means I will need to be happy with my buy. So, what's the best one to buy? Preferably something to keep cool in the Mississippi summer.

I really like my black one. it is a bit thicker than most of my jerseys so on slightly cooler days it is nice. it is one of my tighter fitting jerseys too. They had a white version the 2nd year but i didn't know about that one. or nissan.. boooo |
I like the Voler jerseys. I get them from the Partner section for about $69 and they ship free. I have a few of the Performance Ultra for hot weather.
|
I have a Kucharik Merino L/S from 2003 that is still going strong. It's simple and kinda plain but my favorite Staple for cold weather cycling. I mended a small hole this season where one of the pockets sewn on was loaded down and started to wear, and is good as new.

Since I've bought two of these and no longer need another:

High end being Giordanna & Castelli Rosso Corsa vs. OK being Specialized brand to generic brands. Best bibs are the specialized branded bibs. Favorite shirts are two le cock sportif yellow jersey and KOM jersey. Those are $80 bucks each and the bib was $60 I think. Better quality and more comfortable than my $350 speed suit which has holes and is becoming undone.
|
My favorite jerseys are an Assos and a Capo. I usually buy stuff on sale and I am really happy with those two purchases.
|
the clearance rack at your LBS is your best bet. 90% of my cycling wardrobe were closeouts. my most recent score was a pearl izumi jersey for $35.
|
QUOTE Washing a kit only takes a few minutes, I know a few rider who buy the best and wash there kit after every ride. What you are describing might be pricey but not high end. Try some Rapha or Assos if you want high end. QUOTE
I have this crazy notion that washing a jersey takes more out of it than wearing it. I have 12 jerseys (same jersey in a couple of different colors) and alternate them. Sixty dollar jerseys bought at half price. Do they really last longer when they are alternated? I have no clue. |
