By Daccordi Rider from Durham, NC on 02/02/2009 Pros: Breathable, Comfortable, Good fit, Warm Best Uses: Cold Weather, Everyday, Spring rides, training rides Describe Yourself: Avid Cyclist Chest Size: Feels true to size Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: After reading other reviews, I bit the bullet and paid the substantial price for this jersey. First, it's from Campagnolo, so you know it's good, and worth every cent. The reviews indicated that. Second, it looks awesome. I ride a "vintage" Italian racing bike, and this just completes the picture. Third, it's quite comfortable. Heeding some of the other reviewers' concerns, for my first ride I wore a UA Heat Gear shirt under it, and was pleased I did (and will likely continue to do so). The jersey, or sweater really, breathed so much better than any jacket or other jersey I've worn. I haven't tried washing it, so I can't comment there. As for storage, I tend not carry a lot in jersey pockets anyway, so it's not much of an issue for me, but for what little I do carry, it's more than sufficient. I agree with other reviewers' point of ordering a size up. I usually wear Large jerseys, but went with XL for this, and am happy I did so. It fit closely enough without exposing my imperfect gut (as it probably would have if smaller) to prevent any material flapping. The STP photo doesn't show the back, which is a shame. The back looks great! The Campy signature is on the back as well (in white lettering on the blue jersey), the pockets button shut and the piping on the pockets is white (on the blue jersey). Great product and worth the price!
By sue from bend, oregon on 01/13/2009 Pros: Generous pockets, Long sleeves, Soft wool, Vibrant colors Cons: Sized one size too small Describe Yourself: Avid Cyclist Chest Size: Feels too small Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: the beautiful stitching on the front and back makes the jersey fit too tight across the chest for women (unless you are very small-busted). i strongly disagree with the recommendation to order one size smaller for women; i had to return the medium and exchange it for the large.
By Rigo in SC from Santa Cruz, CA on 01/02/2009 Pros: Breathable, Good fit Best Uses: Cold Weather, Everyday Describe Yourself: Collegiate/Pro Chest Size: Feels true to size Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I have four of these jerseys now and absolutely love them. I find these to be wonderful training jerseys in any weather under about 80 degrees. They have great big pockets - wonderful for centuries when you want to carry extra food, and great for days when the temperature will vary a lot on your ride. I ride up into the Santa Cruz mountains and on any given day the temperature can vary throughout the ride a good 40 degrees - this jersey is perfect for these conditions. Also, though you can't dry these in a dryer (wool can shrink dramatically), if I just put them on hangers overnight, they're usually dry by morning. Another thing I love about these is that they don't retain body odor like polyester does. Lastly - I found these jerseys a tad itchy on the first ride - but only on the first ride. After that inaugural wearing, itching has not been an issue.

By run4yerlife from Philadelphia, Pa on 12/29/2008 Cons: A little itch-not much Best Uses: Biking, Cold Weather, Racing, Running Describe Yourself: Avid Cyclist Chest Size: Feels too small Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Jersey looks great. The medium size normally works well with me however heeding the advice of the reviewers I opted for a large and it is a good fit - tight but does not restrict. Have not tried it on the bike yet. Only thing I would improve on this jersey is a plastic zip instead of the metal one. I have not experience any zipper jam but sometimes the zip catches...
By The lion from Berkeley, CA on 12/07/2008 Describe Yourself: Avid Cyclist Chest Size: Feels true to size Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Handsome and warm jersey - I highly recommend. I suggest ordering one size larger. I had to exchange since I did not do so.
By mpedrick from denver co on 11/10/2008 Pros: Breathable, Good fit Best Uses: Cold Weather, Everyday Describe Yourself: Avid Cyclist Chest Size: Feels true to size Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: If you sweat - you will smell like a sheep in this sweater. I have not been able to get the small of "wool" out of it by washing. It is very warm and super cool looking but I have a problem with the smell.
By cam from appleton, wi on 11/08/2008 Best Uses: Cold Weather, Everyday Describe Yourself: Avid Cyclist Chest Size: Feels too small Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: this is a classic jersey which fits a little small so you should order 1 size larger. the wool is soft and not scratchy. i wear this whenever i can, even under a sport coat on occasion.
By Bicicletta from Heart of Dixie on 11/08/2008 Describe Yourself: Avid Cyclist Chest Size: Feels true to size Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Worn a couple of times so far and I've received a lot of complements on this jersey. I included a base layer on a 45° night ride (Road) and stayed comfortable on both climbs and fast descents. On a 50°+ and sunny day it was fine by itself. Even when it warmed to the mid 60's, it was comfortable.
By salt_fly from Houston, TX on 08/09/2008 Describe Yourself: Avid Cyclist Chest Size: Feels too small Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Nice jersey with a retro look. I wear a size 40 jacket and the L was pretty tight. I'm going to exchange for a XL (41-43).
