I've owned a very nice Giordana Techblend jersey for the past year now, looks good, very comfortable and reasonably close fitting in most areas. However, I always seem to get a bit of flapping around the stomach area (presumably because of my body shape where the ribs come more forward than the stomach). Would the Body Clone jersey, which I understand is closer fitting, give me an aerodynamic gain over a jersey that can be seen to visibly move against a headwind? I am using the small size for Techblend right now.

Or are there any other recommendations you could suggest for a Body Clone-esque jersey that might help me cut through the wind that bit better? I seem to recall most of the ProTour teams last year were marketing kit that came in "super-close fitting or normal" styles.

    By far the most comfortable and close fitting jersey I have (long sleeved Body Clone FR). You will get no flapping around with these. Perfect fit when on the bike, can look a bit short at the front when stood up, but I don't see this as a problem as it is used for riding not walking about in!

    Would get myself the short sleeved version but not keen on the designs. Am looking at the Castelli jerseys which I believe are similar in fit and in my opinion much nicer in design.
