Too much for a tight jersey to wear for a couple of hours' fast riding (flap, flap, flap, flap gets old); great commuting to the office.
I'm still trying to find the really tight jerseys that the pros appear to be wearing in televised races.
Actual race fit, perhaps aero.
If you wear bib shorts the length of the jersey would be less of an issue.
But then it gets baggier, because the spread for the hips lines up with your smaller belly.
LG XS racer fit aero (Corsa 2.0) - works great - nothing flaps when riding with the waist pulled down far enough, it stays anchored over the mid-section even with arms lifted in a victory salute (that is purely hypothetical), and is comfy only a little snug in the shoulders. Effectively perfect.
Castelli S race fit aero (aero race 4.0) - bunches when not in a riding position, bad then, does not stay parked well, although the shoulders are fine. Going back.
