Wonderful jersey though. I wear it on hot event rides, where it's the almost perfect thing. I usually put a Camelbak over it. - decreases wind resistance enough that they're UCI banned. Every little advantage, that's what I say. They used to shove sponges down their jersey backs. Maybe that's illegal now too.
I've neither owned nor fondled Pactimo, so I'll have take your word for it. Still, Pactimo isn't exactly a super common brand so saying that "a lot" of jerseys can only fit gels seems like some fine hyperbole.
