Let's start with the good first: picked it up for way less than retail, build quality seems good, material is nice, STAYS COOL even though it is too baggy. CONS: THE SIZING. This is not "semi-fitted." Nike Dri-Fit apparel is semi-fitted. If you are built like the model in the picture, this jersey will be HUGE around your waist. (I would wager they are holding the abdomen taut with clothespins in the back, a trick I use as a wedding photographer). This is vanity sizing at its worst. I have a 41 inch chest and a 32 inch waist @ 170#, so per the PI sizing chart on their website, I ordered a medium. The chest is semi-fitted. The arms are semi-fitted. But I could carry a watermelon in the abdomen area. It is so loose, sitting fully upright on the bike causes the jersey pockets to swing away from me 2-3 inches. If you're in good shape you will NOT be able to solve the problem by going a size smaller either (the medium length is correct for me @ 5'10", but more importantly the shoulder seams are in the correct spot based on the chest sizing). And as other reviewers have mentioned, it seems very short in front for its size, and there is no real keeper elastic at the bottom. If the elastic at the bottom actually snugged back up, both the bagginess in the ab region and the shorter length would be way less noticeable. I'll keep this jersey around for spring when I am thicker from lifting all winter and not riding as much. EDIT: AND the reflective "Pearl Izumi" logo fell off the back after 50 miles and 0 washings.

This jersey was relatively inexpensive for the quality and construction of the garment. I ordered a large. I'm 6'0", 190 lbs, 46" shoulder width with big rib cage. This jersey fits slightly loose. My next jersey purchase will be one step up to an elite. I may try a medium too.

fit well and is comfortable. I'm kinda tall and was worried it would be too short. The large fit my 6'4" frame well

This is in the lower end of the PI line. It is good as an everyday jersey. You should use a wash bag in the washer to keep jersey from being damaged. While it is not made from the higher end fabrics like several of our other jerseys are, this one will serve the end user well, if properly cared of...
