Endura Halcyon Cycling Jersey - Short-Sleeve - Men's - 2009 BCS

I have this jersey in both blue and orange. I have worn it biking in Fruita in the fall. It keeps you warm and cool at the same time- don't ask me how. I think the best part is this is a great casual shirt too, especially for dates and parties. I am a 'Banana Republic' medium guy- 5'9" 170 athletic cut. The medium fits me perfect. It works well in Colorado because if the warm days and cool nights. Personally, I hand wash and flat dry on a towel. Also, it's a great value on ChainLove for $37.50. Maybe that's the Bohemian in me speaking!

I wasn't sure what to expect when I ordered this jersey. I'm 6'2", 200lbs, and I ordered the XL. It fits quite loosely... maybe too loose. Yet I fear a L would be too small. The length is long and generous, very long. It does not rise up your back at all. the rear pockets are simply non-closing rear pockets. Not sure if I like that. I definitely do not like the metal zipper. It's operation is not smooth...it grabs and pulls in either direction. Of course when I ride, I'm seldom adjusting the zipper, but it is what it is and I don't care for it.

At the price I paid, I'm pleased enough to keep it but would certainly never pay the over $100 retail price for it. If I end up not wearing it for cycling, it'll be a kind of cool looking casual shirt I guess.

First off, it looks good in a retro kind of way. I actually prefer it as casual wear as opposed to riding with it though. The metal zipper is a turn-off because it does not operate smoothly. It is sized generously. I'm 6'2", 200lbs and bought the XL in Tang color. It's a bit oversized for me, although the length is good...I'd say it's sized generously. So I have mixed feelings. It's a bit pricey unless you can get it on sale like I did. And seriously, Dry Clean? After every ride? I don't think so. Thankfully it is also machine washable. Gotta love wool though...doesn't get that nasty odor that doesn't go away.
