Cheap Pearl Izumi Men's Select Thermal Jersey

Customer Ratings:

I commuted to work on my bicycle until the exceptional snowbanks made the road too narrow to ride safetly after Christmas this past winter (2011). On the coldest day, 18 degrees F, I wore this jersey, a very thin shell, my ski helmet and gloves, and Pearl Izumi thermal tights. With this jersey, re-purposed ski gear, and my other Pearl Izumi gear, I did not stop riding because of the temperatures associated with a New England winter. I was amazed that I was able to ride my bicycle comfortably in the winter. Other than some novelty jerseys, All of my cycling gear is Pearl Izumi.

I'm 5'11.5", 190lbs, athletic build and a Large fits me very well. I've worn it with just a base-layer in the upper 20's with 10-15 mph wind and have been fine on training rides (3 hours, 20mph+ avg). For what I'm doing, I wouldn't wear this jersey when it's above 45-50 degrees, depending on the wind. This jersey would be 5+ stars if it had a wind proof layer on the torso.

For my upper body, I wear this over the PI Transfer Zip Neck Long Sleeve Base, and then put on an Elite Barrier Jacket a combo that keeps me warm on 30 degree mornings. Given its light weight, it's amazing how warm this jersey is.

Quality-wise, it's excellent. I've never been disappointed with Pearl Izumi products, and this one kept the streak alive.

Size-wise, I'm 5'11, 174 lbs and the Large fits me nicely (over the base layer). It seems that for PI lower body gear I'm a Medium, but for upper body items I'm a large.

I'm very satisfied with this purchase, and I hope this review helps someone to make the decision to purchase this nice, purposeful product of fine quality.

Honest reviews on Pearl Izumi Men's Select Thermal Jersey

I purchased this jersey to replace an earlier Pearl Izumi winter jersey that was a little rough and scratchy to wear. This jersey is soft, comfortable, and and has kept me very warm riding between work and home in northern Colorado. It washes well, wears comfortably, and the full length zipper is much better than the partial length zipper on the older winter jersey I was using previously.

I really don't have any reference to compare to since this is my first and only biking thermal. I have been only riding with temp down to the upper 40's and 50's. It's fine with that kind of weather. It's a bit cold at the beginning before I warm up, but perfect after that. It certainly didn't feel hot in the temperature range above during hard climb. I like the design and color. I am 5'9" and 150 pounds. Medium was perfect size for me.
