When I first tried this jersey on, I immediately thought it was small, but after adjusting it around a bit I decided it was just a little snug. It is actually quite comfortable, and I think it will work well for my kind of riding. Pearl Izumi is usually top rate, and this jersey fits that category. I'm tempted to suggest ordering larger than your normal fi, but it really just comes down to how loose you like to dress. If you don't mind a little snug fit, order to size.
Great all around jersey. It does fit on the large side through the chest and stomach, making it easier to get on and off. I like that I can unzip the jersey for additional airflow and the back pockets work great for cell phones and stuff. My problem, not the jersey problem, is I have a long torso and order "tall" tops as a general rule. I had hoped that a larger size would add length to the jersey. Since my tight abs days are long past, I where a lightweight t-shirt under the jersey to compensate. Visibility is a high priority.
I'm very short and stout in my upper body, so the relaxed fit is actually nice and snug on me. The zipper is far more robust than any other jerseys I own, including Pearl Izumi. This is my favorite for commuting, where high viz is the safest option.
I can't figure out Pearl Izumi short sleeve jersey sizing. I ordered a racy fit jersey in size Large that was way too tight, and then this one in size Large that was really baggy, even though they both had the same sizing chart. For whatever reason, long sleeve PI jerseys in size Large always fit fine.
I didn't realize that this jersey was made from recycled plastic bottles until it arrived. This turned out to be a plus to an already awesome piece of cycling apparel. This jersey is definitely meant for hot weather, it's light and wicks away moisture better than any of the other PI jersey (or other brands) that I own. Definitely provide the comfort I'm looking for on these hot humid monsoon mornings here in the desert. I would highly recommend.
This jersey is a must if you ride in areas where you need to be seen. Runs a little large. Normally I use an XL, but the L fits me a little better. Both a really comfortable and cool as I ride year round in west central Florida, often in 90+ temperatures with like humidity. I especially appreciate the visibility as my riding is in suburban and rural areas and Florida is not known as bicycle friendly. You can see this jersey a mile away!
Comfortable Jersey, a little heavier fabric than most of my summer weight Jerseys.
Does all that I was looking for in a jersey. Been washed a handful of times and hasn't shrunk. I'm looking for another color because I like this jersey.
Fits fine. A basic Jersey.

Good hot weather Jersey. Fit is perfect.
It will be a perfect summer jersey for bicycling in the countryside. Highly visible and sleek.
Size seems to run big, get the next size down. Has a heavier feel good for colder weather, but very comfortable. I love the zipper, higher quality than I have seen in my other specialty jerseys.
True to color; light weight and loose fit; quality material and zipper; This will be my go- to summer jersey to wear in warm weather
My old LG jerseys are getting pretty stretched out in the back (phone is heavy) so i needed a few cheap ones to replace them. These fit great and the sale price was right. Not as cool for hot weather but certainly good enough. 6' 0" 185 lbs. Large fits perfectly.
When your body no longer looks like one that can wear skin tight lycra without splitting the seams, along comes a jersey that provides room to grow! Best zipper in a jersey I have ever found - so good I bought 2 more! Thanks for thinking of those riders who don't look 'pro' anymore.
I have several of these, very comfortable and hi vis. They appear occasionally on the daily special making them a steal!
Not the best but certainly good. Color is highly visible. My only complaint is that it runs small. I bought a large and it fits like a medium. Wicks perspiration well.
I ordered large. It fits perfectly great jersey.
It's been through the wash several times and still looks like new. Comfortable. Good size back pockets.
