Own several pair of these. Really like the wide but flexible and comfortable waist. Love the level of compression and the fact that the leg grippers have no silicone or rubber, yet grips great. The chamois has "wings" that float (not sewn down) and I'm not a fan of these. The padding level is okay, some other brands have better amount of padding. I feel the quality is top-notch and having a rubber logo keeps it from getting washed away over time.
This is an excellent jersey. It's hard for me to order an XL in a jersey as I am 5'9 inches tall and usually below 165 pounds. I do have wide shoulders relative to most Euro type cyclists. This jersey is very form fitting. I would definitely recommend adding one and possibly two sizes. I plan to try an XL next time I order one. Otherwise the jersey looks and feels great. I enjoy not having to spray sunscreen, legs fine but arms make me feel sticky and uncomfortable. I've tried sun sleeves but they never seem to fit comfortably.
This jersey is 100% better!
Whilst I am no longer riding competitivly I still like to use good quality clothing that fits well and remains comftorble throughout the ride. The Expresso jersey satisfies my needs very it has become my jersey style of choice over the past couple of years (I now have ablut 3 of them).
I have used them throughout the heat of a Texas summer and find they will be good with an undershirt and arm warmers on cooler days.
A great buy, more relaxt fit than a full on race jersey so ideal for group rides, training rides and of course the coffee shop.
These are mostly a single layer of material, nicely trimmed on all edges. I'm not normally one to complain about tight shorts, but I tried a small first based on my measurements and PI's size guide, and they were really too tight, but the medium fits fine. I normally buy more premium bib shorts (Castelli), but PI is my favorite maker of jerseys and jackets, so I wanted to give these a try. I've had the non-bib Attack shorts for a while, and I like them, but I've seen the light and I'm using bibs exclusively now. The chamois is updated to be less bulky, but still just as effective (no fatigue after my last three hour ride), although it's still not as good as either level of Castelli's chamois (acknowledging that chamois effectiveness really varies for different people). Breathability is okay, but not excellent. The leg openings have been working fine for me, no issues.
