Favorite Jersey(s)?
I'm needing to get some new Jerseys. I'm just curious what your guys favorite jerseys are. I'm thinking about picking up some Pearl Izumi Jerseys up. Anyone have any experience with them?

Whatever works for you is what you need. I've found Assos and Castellis to be really nice. I don't want to pay Assos prices, but they do know what they are doing. Are they overpriced? I think they are. Except they work really well. For example you can get an Elite from World Cycling Productions for $114. Is that too expensive? Wear it, wash it and decide.

the selection is a bit limited but these are pretty nice. could be a bit longer for my taste

New fav, since I shredded my PI Slice which was old fav, I got a couple new Specialized Avilian jerseys in from their clearance site, 2008 models, perfection.
Short and holds stuff up high and tight so they don't bounce when sprinting/climbing. Secure zipper pocket. Very light weight vented mesh panels everywhere. Full front zipper. http://www.specialized.com/us/en/bc/...12234&eid=5004 |
I had these made up for the shop I work for. Have to admit, for the money they are pretty comfortable.

Old school, but I always loved this one:

I have a Kucharik New Zealand wool winter-wear wool jersey. It's okay. There is no miracle fabric for cold-weather riding. Personally, I like polypropelene base layer, polyester (or wool) midlayer and a shell jacket with lots of zips to allow you to do moiisture-carrying adjustments. But for long cold rides you need to carry extra dry stuff in a pack, and change out. The dry stuff makes you feel a lot warmer, immediately.
For gloves, Outdoor Research Alti Mitts will keep your hands warm. Outdoor Research balaclava is good. Winter tights are good, but you will need an underlayer. Ski goggles work. I think indoor spin classes in cold winter are the best option. Outdoor riding by yourself or training by yourself is not so much fun. |
You could get this one free if you're fast enough.

One should either be a work of art or wear a work of art

Cheap, decent quality from what I hear. :) Me, I got spoiled...I rode with Canari MTB jerseys all year (nice $13. jerseys). But once I tried on a "real" RB jersey, I'm not going back! :D |

I want practical at a reasonable cost. $50, $60, $70, $100 or more for a jersey to sweat in as I ride has never struck me as reasonable. |
also a big fan of LG. Fit me great, made well and look real nice.

I've got a couple jerseys from my club that fit really well for me. I think they're both from Pactimo. http://www.pactimo.com/
|
I wear the plain colored Voler jerseys from velowear.com. Decently priced and great quality. I got mine when they were on sale for $29 apiece.
|
The Solo Classique is my current favorite at the moment. http://www.solocc.com/jerseys.cfm
|
I like Castelli Prologo - relatively inexpensive, understated and smart-looking and very comfy.
|
I like to spend my money on "Made in the USA" when I can and the product is quality... I like the "alternative cycling apparel" from Twin Six myself...

+1 on LG, really seems to fit well and is good quality. I have some Performance plain jerseys too and they are really a pretty decent jersey for the money.
|
Yeah, LG (IMO) definitely the best "value" for the money.
You pay a little more than lower grades of gear, but get way more return on your investment. Everything LG I own performs great. +'s? Even though it's a Canadian company, some of my LG gear is made in The USA. :) In the immortal words of David Putty... "Gotta support da' team!" :lol: |
I mostly wear plain jerseys but this one was so freaky I had to have it
