Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

No idea. It takes weeks to ship from the exotic orient.

ETA: It was $18 with free shipping, so if the quality is not top notch I will not mind too much.

Well, there's Pactimo. No unusual designs, just the best summer jersey I've worn. Gotta be built like a cyclist, though. I'm a 24 BMI and can just barely get away with wearing one.

This arrived today. It's WAY too small. I followed the sizing chart and got an XL and it was still WAY too small. So I just ordered an XXL and an XXXL. At $18 each I don't mind.

It only took 2 weeks to get here.

How is the quality? If it's good, please share the store link. I'm overall satisfied with the $13 jersey I ordered. The zipper is not so great and the shoulder part of the sleeves seems to be slightly oversized. I'm really interested to use it in summer in comparison to my other jerseys.

Not sure how to measure the quality. It seems very light. The zipper seems sturdy. The printing is OK. It seems to be symmetrical.

Feel of material in relation to other jerseys, stitching, ease of zipping, any loose threads, probably don't other stuff, but it's an $18 jersey, so probably hard to be too critical.

Feel of material: It is made of matter and I can feel it. Feels materialy. Does not have all the feels.
Ease of zipping: No difficulty zipping or unzipping.
Loose threads: Didn't notice any.

The 2XL and 3XL arrived two days ago. The 2XL seems to be the same size as the XL. The 3XL fits me, snug except for the arms.
