I am a very petite female and usually wear a small . I ordered a small and am exchanging it for a medium as it was cut very small and I would not have been able to wear a base layer under it. I am a very serious cyclist and often purchase Italian products. European sizes tend to run smaller.
It could be that this particular item is just cut very small . Otherwise It is well constructed and I think it will be great.
I think this product value is worth the price.
I have the previous generation of Perfecto jerseys, and have added the newer updated version over the past two winters. I love both of them. I have found that the newer versions are a little more airtight. These jerseys block the wind really well. I stay warm, and just as importantly, I stay dry. I have yet to ride through rain wearing a Perfecto, but it does well in managing the sweat I create during the two hour rides I usually do. Even if the temperatures rise ten or more degrees from the beginning to the end of 35 miles, I can adjust the vent zippers, and also unzip a little more on the main to adjust for the warmth and stay comfortable. I have worn the Perfecto jersey in temperature from the high 40s to the lower 70s. I have never arrived home complaining about comfort. It lives up to its name!
This jacket is the bomb! I get could easily and the Perfetto gets me out on those days when I'd otherwise stay in. Excellent wind protection yet it still looks sleek and breathes well.
Have not worn on the bike yet. When I tried it on was actually a good fit except the arms are a little tight at the elbows. I purchased a large and it is just big enough. I am 5'9" 138lb so not your petite cyclist which this brand is designed for.
