Jersey fit

I'm looking for another jersey as I can't be doing with just having one and washing it overnight. The problem I find is that all the italian jerseys are either too loose or too tight. My current jersey however is an Endura small and fits perfectly.

The question is, what other jerseys have the same fit as Endura? They need to be at most £50 but ideally less. I was looking at Mavic but not sure how these will fit. Also they need to be black, white or red mainly to go with my bike :oops:

Thanks

Mike

    I fancied something different from just the same again. Plus it's always good to find another jersey that fits.

    Haven't tried one of those but they do get good reviews.

    Customer reviews on wiggle are usually a good indication of the sizing if you can't find anyone with experience of the FS260 pro.

    I've got a FS260 pro jersey. Been very impressed with it.

    Do you have any other jerseys that fit similarly to it?

    Also do you find the fabric pulls really easily? I seem to find pulls in it daily!

    Do you have velcro on your gloves? - I bet it's that.
    Yellow is the new Black.

    I do, i've not really noticed myself catching them on it but I will try and avoid it now you've mentioned it.

    38" chest, torso length is 21" if that helps. The torso length is the real difficulty for me.

    I have an Endura FS260 (not pro) and the fit is good, however owning to loosing some weight over the last year it's a bit loose in places. The other month I bought one of these http://www.ridebosh.com/mens_clothing/j ... k_Red.html
    and the fit is perfect. The Endura was a large and this a medium, but generally the same fit. The price however is a no-brainer, and the quality is equal to the Endura.

    I was gonna suggest Mavic espoir, great jersey, but 21" torso sounds long, Mavic are really short.

    Have you not got a "Club Jersey" ?

    I'm waiting on this but the supplier seems to be taking a while to come through with designs and prices, thats why i've been holding out for a few months with just one jersey but with the warmer weather and starting racing I can't keep wearing one all the time.

    Order a load from Wiggle or CRC and use the free returns service they offer with Collect+.
    Just got a Solo Retro Tech jersey and Lugged bib which are nice for reasonable cash with the codes.

    I find the craft active jersey to be more "normal" sized.

    http://www.wiggle.co.uk/craft-active-bi ... ic-jersey/

    I have a size M which is a nice fit. I have a Giordana jersey that's a size XL and if anything that's a bit tighter fitting than the Craft!
