Does this chart run true to size? thanks, Brian

It fits me rather well. I am 6'1 and the 4XL fits great around the shoulders and arms but a tad long. Though I like the length of Primal vs Suarez which runs small and shorter.

So I prefer the Primal. It does state 6'2 but at 6'1 it seems a bit long while standing with filled pockets even if I were an inch taller. OK without pockets filled.

Everything else fits really well so it is my brand of choice.

Yes! I do like Primal jerseys too. I wear the 4X I have a large chest/shoulder area and they fit just right IMO. I measure a 52ish chest for reverence and I am just under 6'. I have one at 5X and one at 4X and the 5X is just a bit big but still very wearable and the 4X I think is a great fit.

I like their pockets compared to aerotech and as been stated the length in the back is really good. Areotech is good too but if I had to choose one Primal probably #1 .

Off topic but where are you finding Primal stuff in larger sizes online? I can find it but usually kind of spendy....

BTW, another thing I really like about Primal is that the pockets are pretty deep.

I have a new Canari jersey but the pockets are very shallow and suck. I can barely fit a spare tube box in it as far as depth.

Suarez is pretty decent, deep enough but not like Primal.

How is the length? DH is big, but short. Most of his weight is around the middle. The XXL size seems right, except I don't want it to come down to his knees. (He's only about 5'6").

44" chest, 36" waist, 5'10", 185 lbs, short waist and long legged and the XL fits me perfectly. I also have a 2XL that I use as a mtb jersey because it's nice and loose.
I will add that my team bibs did come un-threaded at the seems where the pad is sewn onto the seat of the shorts extremely prematurely. I should have sent them back and asked for them to re-sew them or replace them but they were a custom design and I never got around to it. Love the jerseys.

The XXL fit me well when I was north of 250#, but I'm 6'2:. Make sure it's one of their really cool designs that he'll want to wear anyhow.

Yes, with the caveat that they make several different cuts in each size. Read their website and you will see that some jerseys are a very tapered, close fitting "racing" cut while others are a more relaxed fit. I'm a 230# 5'11" clyde and have a couple of their XXL jerseys from Tour de Cure events and they fit great.

I have been meaning to try a Primal Wear jersey out of curiousity. I have a 3x Blackbottom jersey, that is very very tight, a 3x Hincapie that is tight, and a 2x Canari that fits tight, but not as tight as the 3x Hincapie. I am losing weight, so I am very interested in what jersies run true to sizing.

I am 5'9" and north of 250, sometimes over 275. I have been wearing Primal in size 3 XL for a number of years now and they are my go to jerseys. Also, Bontrager Solstice in size 2 XL is a good choice, but frankly, a little loose. If you like a loose, mountain bike type jersey, the Bontrager Solstice is the way to go. The Primal is relaxed fit, but not loose.

I have two Primal jerseys, one in the race cut and one in the club(?), both in XXL. The club cut fits pretty well, with a bit of room to breath. The race cut is short and a bit tighter than I'd like. I'm 6'
0" and 250+/-5.

I received some AERO TECH DESIGNS gear from Amazon today. Sizing was good. 3x bib shorts were perfect.
