ARSUXEO Cycling Jersey Men Short Sleeves Ultra-Comfortable Road Bike Jersey Biking Bicycle Shirt

First off, I’ve been racing since the 80s and sponsored through most of that time. I’ve worn most major brands, custom and off the shelf. I’m doing more recreational XC now and wanted a kit that was less “roadie” than my old team stuff, and less expensive. I bought this jersey in green to look a little more organic out on the trails. I don’t normally buy cheap cycling gear so this product was a big leap of faith for me. I have to say I am very impressed with the jersey. The material seems to be the perfect balance of weight and breathability. The color is great. Time will tell if it is durable.There are a few cons: as many have pointed out, the main zipper is low end and cheap looking and feeling. If it lasts, no problem, but I’m skeptical. Interestingly, the zipper on the secret side pocket (a nice addition) uses a better coil-type zipper. Also, the siliconized (or is it just rubber?) is a bit on the tight side. As seen in the photo, they bunched the jersey material to sew on the gripper. I’ve never seen this done this way on any of my expensive team kits. The main material is not flimsy feeling and has a nice weave. You can see my fingers behind the fabric in the photo, with strong lighting. I think this will breathe OK. The material weight is really nice for my XC use case. Lastly, I didn’t see this on the product page where their sizing chart suggests I should order an XXL, depending which parameter one judges most important, but I ordered an XL and they jersey shows that as being “Asian” XL and L for EU/US. I’m 6’2” and weight 175 in fit but not racing form. I’ve ALWAYS worn large jerseys. Nonetheless, I ordered an XL and the jersey is more or less a club fit for me, but with too short of sleeves and a too tight gripper. It would have been more helpful to clearly indicate their suggested sizing is in Asian sizes and simple show the US/EU sizing for those markets. I can live with the sleeves and gripper and the slight looseness is perfect for XC or MTB riding. I would not wear this on my road bike, but so far I would recommend this jersey as an inexpensive piece of kit. [...]
