I first got this in red; it is so gorgeous that as soon as it arrived I wore it out on the town to a rock-n-roll gig! As other reviewers have stated, this jersey does run small--the size S fits me more like an XS. That's okay by me, as I actually wear between XS and S in most brands, though usually I prefer S. The sleeves are fine on me, but it is a race-tight fit, and a little short in the torso. Still, very comfortable fabric, moisture wicking (I was much more comfy at the sweaty gig wearing this than everyone else I was with!), really well-made, has 3 excellent, spacious pockets,a quality zipper and most importantly, it's great on the bike for long or short rides. Performs very well. I liked it so much that I ordered the white one too, and it just came today. It is really lovely also, same top quality but fits a little less snugly than the red, and I think the pale colors will be perfect for the hot weather.
