On the torso...like a shirt. :p


sorry...couldn't resist

Chubby.

J/K, I just left the order of the clydesdales, but once a clyde, always a clyde.

I must admit, it was kind of a nifty feeling when my mom brought over some 38" waist dockers for me yesterday because my 40's are getting baggy.... and the 38's almost fall off me too :P

The pockets go in the BACK.

ahhh the positives of cycle commuting. We may get buzzed by cars and rained on, but we don't need to spend hours in a gym to burn calories :) that happens naturally on our way to work!

The best is when you have to take all your dress pants to the tailor to have the waist taken in and the seat let out.

As mentioned, it's a personal preference, and usually determined by a) the cut of the jersey, and b) the size of the gut

I prefer mine tight, not constricting, but very form-fitting. I bought some looser cut mountain jerseys by mistake on ebay once and I absolutely hated them. I'd much rather have a loose t-shirt than a loose jersey.

Of course, I recently switched to wearing wool. I wear both a close-fitting Ibex jersey and some looser t-shirts. All my poly stuff is sitting beside me in a basket, waiting to go to ebay.

I hate it when someone tries to tell others what jersey to wear due to their fat level. In certain instances a race cut jersey can make you look thinner. Don't ask me to explain it but it does....I swear. :p
I'm not exactly thin or overweight and feel perfectly comfortable in a race cut jersey with my small gut. Then again I do not look like a stuffed sausage. :p

And I wouldn't know but I've heard you shouldn't tuck them into your bike shorts.

This may or may not be true. It might be a good look on some people, although I'm thinking the Clif bars would make a funny lump.

You deserve a real wicking jersey. The way they handle persperation makes cycling so much more comfortable. Wear your jersey however you choose. Some prefer a loose cut, others skin tight. WIth the stretch factor, skin tight is not really uncomfortable. Personal taste. You prefer a loose cut, that's ok, you just will not want it so loose it flaps in the breeze. that is annoying.
I love wicking jerseys. They make sweat and working so much more comfortable. Often when returning, I do maybe 30-40 minutes yard work in the heat. I just throw on some gym shorts . Wicking material is so much more heat friendly.

The gayer your biking outfit looks, the better. Go for the tight fit.

Yes, one should always wear a happy outfit while carrying a bundle of sticks.

Another reason for wearing racing fit can be wind. I will choose a tighter jersey if winds are forecasted. No need to ride along while your jersey or shirt acts like a sail.

Tight fit...but for commutes, T-shirts are good enough...especially tie dyes.

It would be more realistic if you could arrange for ketsup to squirt out of your feet each time you pressed on the pedal.. ;)

You haven't seen the sweat-activated blood packs I keep in my helmet.


I think I have a halloween costume idea. Thank you. :D

they do make t shirts in cool max. Some how, Seems they don't wick as well, but a huge increase over cotton. My commute has been 26 miles. No time for being uncomfortable. To some a commute is just around the block.

The other week it was a little cold here in the morning and I decided at the last minute to throw on a long sleeve wicking-type t-shirt. I put it on under a jersey -- I liked the look and it was the perfect amount of layers.

Tight Fit.

LOL. Guess that shirt is for life.

I have a very bright tie dyed t-shirt that I sometimes wear for commuting for visibility... And to offend the eyes of cagers as I pass their traffic snarl.
