Sure this has been covered but can't find in search.

What jerseys have people found that provide a better fit if you are not a normal cyclist shape and do other sports/cross training?

I've got a relatively OK waist at 32in/81cm, but quite a wide chest and bigger arms for cyclist wear and end squeezing myself in if I want an OK body length and it not bunching or a sail flapping round my waist. Ta

    I've found the Endura stuff works well. Longer in the arms and body than some alternative brands, but still fairly close in fit.

    Wouldn't a muscular rider want a shorter body for a given width - something like Mavic or Ekoi ?

    Stop the cross training, within a few years of fat stripping drugs/eating lettuce, you could look like a stick thin climber

    Expensive - Rapha (especially the sportwool jerseys)

    Cheaper - Endura

    Thanks everyone. Endura do our club kit and I don't get on with and have stopped wearing it bar the skinsuits.

    Guess it's a trip into London then to the Rapha store... I have resisted for so long

    I'm of a similar build. 32-33 inch waist but pretty big chest and back especially.

    I've found Torm jerseys give me a great fit. https://torm.cc/

    do you mean muscular as a euphemism for fat?

    if not i can't be of any help.

    Definitely go with SportWool, it has a really good degree of stretch allowing the fabric to meet the contours of most body shapes.
