Late fall, early winter rides. The fit is classic Giordana, I am 5'6"/145lbs. and the medium fits perfectly, snug but not ridiculously tight. I pair it with an undergarment, bibs and a Perfetto vest and it is a warm top down to about 45 degrees.
This jersey fits great and kept me perfectly warm in mid 30s with a long sleeve base layer, and mid 40s with a short sleeve one. It is comfortable and soft, and the pockets fit a bunch of gear. Cut is nice and tight to the body, and the higher collar is wonderful in the cold.
Unfortunately, the second time I wore this jersey I washed out after catching some sketchy air on some technical single track.
I got up, pride and body bruised, and my heart sunk when I realized that my shoulder and elbow had taken the brunt of the crash.
My New Jersey was covered in mud, dirt, and debris—I anticipated that it was a goner.
But wait! Lo and behold, upon closer inspection the jersey was entirely intact save for a little abrasion that didn’t even go completely through the first layer of fabric!
I’ll think of this embarrassing moment every time I don this perfectly cut, warm, and shocking durable jersey in the future, and maybe keep the sketch in check a tiny bit more. Maybe.
Great jersey when the temp drops below 60 degrees. Fleece like lining. 5'-11", 170 pounds, large fits well, forearms a little loose without a liner.
Comfortable, well fitting thermal l.s. jersey. Nice deep pockets, so plenty of storage room. Purchased the XL, definitely an aero fit, I am 5ft 10 in. and about 170 lb. Great for the cooler weather and just need to add layers for colder days.
It's warm, fits well, and it's bright. 5'10", 160lbs, 32" waist.
