FEATURES
The fabric for this Stolen Goat jersey is buttery soft, very stretchy, quick drying and really lightweight, so great for me as I tend to overheat really easily when I’m exercising! There are the usual cycling jersey features - three pockets at the back, full length zip, soft elastic cuffs.
SIZING AND FIT
I’d say this fits slightly on the small side, and I find it quite short at the front. While it is longer at the back there is a pronounced difference in hem length. It’s also designed to be tight fitting. The size chart for the XXXL (largest size available) says it fits a 46” bust, 41” waist and 50” hip. I’m currently a 46” bust, a 41” waist and 52” hip - I tried this size according to my bust measurement, and the fact that the jersey is extremely stretchy. However, if there was a choice I would definitely size up! My best guess is that this would fit someone with a quite short torso who was well within all the measurements given on the size chart (so size 18-20 depending on how tight you like your cycling jerseys).
PERFORMANCE
I have a reasonably long torso, so found this jersey a bit to sort at the front - it sits right on my belly rather than coming down beneath it. A combination of this, the slanted hem and the fact that I am slightly outside the sizes given on the chart means that this jersey does tend to ride up more others I own. However, I still reach for it on warm days because it is so lightweight and quick drying and breathable, and I really love the colour! Because I wear pretty high waisted bib shorts when I’m on the bike the riding up doesn’t cause me any discomfort and I stay covered.
