Loose fit jersey

Could someone recommend a good loose fit biking jersey that's not too pricey. I don't mind wearing the tight biking shorts as long as I have a some what long loose jersey to wear with it. Thanks.

There are some great jersey deals on Chainlove. I picked up a couple of nice loose fitting Fox jerseys for around 15 bucks each. Problem is, they only have one deal at a time, so you might have to watch the site for a while before one comes up.

What's weird about jerseys, is that their all made of 100% polyester, so whether you buy a $120 jersey or a $15 one from Walmart or Target they will work the same, unless you need the rear pocket. So save your money from buying expensive jerseys for really nice biking shorts.

Right now due to end of the season closeouts you can get great deals on clothes at: Find Short Sleeve Cycling Jerseys: The Best Men's Cycling Clothing From Performance Bike

Or: Short Sleeve Cycling Jerseys: Warm Weather Bike Jerseys: Nashbar

The problem with most cycling specific jersey's is that their tight fitting, the ones at Walmart and Target are not, though they do sell some that are. I like loose fitting jerseys especially the hotter it is, the looser jersey allows air to bellow between the skin and the cloth making you cooler then a tight fitting one. I posted the above sites just in case you were looking for something a bit different.

Here is my ˘˘
I like the Performance bikes brand Jersey Thay may be the same material but the weave are different from one brand to anouther, that makes a difference to how thay wick away moisture. Rember you are not allways dealing with USA sizes so you might have to order a 2X for a 1X but once you find how that brand fits you will be ok, but if you go to anouther brand the fit might be different. I wear a XXL and in performance brand a XXXL fits lose for me. good luck on your quest.

try LL Bean. Nice jerseys (altho pockets are not the normal) and are in "normal" sizes.

Really, I just wear a lot of the stuff I had left over from running. It looks pretty much identical save for the rear pockets.

EMS often seems to have bike gear at lower price points than the other mainstream retailers.
