I scored some deals today on bicycle related gear. Found the Wal-mart shirts. They have the skin tight wicking shirts and the looser ones that look more like regular t-shirts. Went with the looser ones. That and the shorts I found should make my ride a bit more comfortable.

Heeeeyyyyy.

A quick warning about those WalMart skin tight wicking shirts. They make you (me) look fat.

There is a reason I went with the looser ones.

I just got 4 different colors of the nashbar jerseys in XL and they are too big.
If anyone got Large and feels they are too tight and wants to trade, let me know.

I just got mine in today, I thought I ordered Grey, but apparently Grey/Orange means that it's orange with grey piping and Orange/Grey means the opposite? Oh well, at least i'll be seen.

Ugh, they still have my order on hold b/c they ran out of one of the colors I ordered.

crap, I guess beggars can't be choosers? I don't much want an orange jersey but it's too cheap to bother sending back. My email confirmation said it was going to be grey so we'll see I guess.

The orange is alarmingly bright, but as daredevil said, too cheap to send back. The fit is just about right for me, and really, I'm using them for commuting, so bright isn't the worst thing. The grey was the only color that didn't look like it came out of a crayon box. I'll be the largest tangerine on the planet.

I'm sure we could all arrange some sort of jersey swap? I'd be willing to part with my orange w/grey piping (XL) for its opposite...

The nashbar ATB panniers that I ordered with the jerseys seem to be the perfect size for me. They have some decent accessory pockets. Can't beat em for $17.99!

My grey jersey did in fact arrive as grey.

I see now these are back to $30.

I've used them (the obnoxious orange jersey) for my commute, and I think I'm starting to like them. In fact, I wish I had bought more than 2. Next time they go on sale, I'll buy a couple more. It'd be nice to have 4-5 of them.

Awright. Ordered 3 XL (my Primal size - 6'1"/205 lbs.) and could have set up a beer tent with them. Sent them back, received Large. Still too big. I haven't worn a Medium since 7th grade. Anyone else have sizing issues?
