Deciding between Jersey's
I'm looking at these:
Descente Coolmatic:
https://www.performancebike.com/webap...551_1080834_-1
Capo Cima:
https://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...=STRK:MEWAX:IT
Descente Helios:
https://www.performancebike.com/webap...551_1080812_-1
Craft Performance Tour:
https://www.performancebike.com/bikes..._400000_400060
Can anybody comment about these Jersey's in Small, how they fit you and what your chest size is?
I'm 5'10", 142 lbs, slim build, chest size 35" - trying to figure out if the Small in these will fit me snug w/o drape.
Either the Capo or the Craft are the two I'd like to choose between.
The Craft Small is a 36"-37" chest size.
Anybody out there with a Small Capo Cipa Jersey who'd care to comment about the fit?

I have the Descent Coolmatic and love it. I won't talk about size/fit since I am built completely different from you and am a large.

Buy each and then return what you don't want. Or go to a real store and try some on. About half of my jerseys don't fit how I'd like them due to the trial and error internet buying method. I usually bought at ~50% off so it evened out over time, but just saying.

Family Business and 50 hour work weeks make it difficult to spend time shopping around. It's the same time I could be using to ride.
eippo1's comment really helps. I know it's on the tight side and that's exactly what I'm looking for so I feel good spending that $109 knowing it'll probably fit like I want it to.

I have trouble fitting into a lot of jerseys. Smalls from European brands are often too big for me as well.
If you are experiencing anything like this, then I would recommend you look at XS sizes.

Yea, if it isn't on the tighter side, it tends to get baggy on me.
Most of those jersey's only go down to a Small, that's why I'm not so sure. The Capo, I think, is European therefore it might be too big.

A huge problem with me are the back pockets. If I put anything in there (say a phone), my jerseys always sag down to my ass.
Oh well, I guess that's what I get for having a small torso.
