How To Pick the Correct Size Cycology Jersey

Everyone wants their riding jersey to fit well and be comfortable!

There is no standard sizing fit amongst cycling brands, so please use a measuring tape and our handy sizing tool on each product page. Entering your body dimensions can help you find the right size and fit. To assist you, we've supplied garment measures for our short sleeve performance jerseys below, which you can compare to your favourite cycling jersey.

HOW IT WORKS

Lay your favourite fitting cycling jersey flat, then measure the crucial areas: 

  • across the chest just under the armhole
  • the zipper length for the front
  • the back length from under the collar to the bottom of the hem.

Compare these to our men's and women's garment measurements below.

PERFORMANCE FIT CYCLING JERSEYS

Our men's and women's short sleeve cycling jerseys are a performance fit. These are made with great temperature regulating, very fine high-stretch materials. They're light as air and intended to be worn close to the body. Beautifully crafted and extremely comfortable to wear, created to fit snugly so that they breathe and move with the body.

This is a close-fitting jersey. If you are unsure about sizing or like a slightly looser fit, consider going up a size. We receive more returns from consumers who find the jerseys to be smaller than expected, so keep this in mind when selecting your size.

We have various options for those who aren't into road cycling, such as our highly popular MTB Jersey. These long and short sleeve relaxed fit jerseys are made of beautiful lightweight fabrics with built-in stretch and exceptional breathability. As the day heats up, the fabric will drain away sweat to keep you cool on the way up, and it's quick to dry, so you'll be comfortable as you flow back down the path. The fit is relaxed but not too baggy, enabling you to move and respond to the terrain without feeling constrained. The MTB-specific cut can also fit body armour and pads, resulting in a jersey that is suitable for multiple disciplines.

For something more casual, try our men's  gravel shirt, which is ideal for a ride when you'll be stopping at cafés (or pubs!) and want to spend the day on the bike. This high-performance button-up shirt is ideal for gravel riding or casual wear off the bike. It stretches and breathes, has two side zip pockets, and comes in our classic styles. A really adaptable garment.
