    Are these jerseys too tight?

    Hi, it’s my first time getting tight-fit jerseys and I wanted to get some advice.

    I bought a M size jersey (gray) which looked way too tight. I ended up getting another L size jersey (black) which still looks pretty tight.

    I have never worn these race-fit jerseys before so I’m not sure how they’re supposed to fit. Should I stick with either of these sizes (M, L) or size up to XL?

    Also, the M (gray) one has been worn a few times and might have expanded a little, whereas the L (black) is brand new.

    Thanks 🙂

      Arguably too loose. It shouldn’t bunch, which I can see a lot just below the chest area. Race fit is supposed to feel like a second skin. Common saying “if it zips it fits”. Also not sure what type of jerseys those are but essential are a bit more looser fitting if that’s what makes you feel more comfortable

      Looks good to me. I think it’s the material, being so smooth, that makes you think it’s too tight

      You might be surprised by the answer but they look too loose. There’s a lot of material bunching up when you’re in your riding position.

      Absolutely not too tight. You could probably size down for a better fit actually.

      I think you answered your own question in your first sentence. It’s supposed to be a tight-fitting jersey. 

      For context I’m 6ft at 170lbs and wear a medium in PNS essential and a L in mechanism.

      Quite the opposite. You can definitely wear these ones, but tou can probably also size down. You have the body for it.

      I have a mechanism jersey and it’s ridiculously tight, but I look sexy and I’m fast when I wear it.
