Women specific cycle clothing

Nice ;-)
Better hope it gets colder!

I pooled my xmas money and took advantage of the boxing day sales to order myself a Garmin 520 heart + cadence bundle and some Tacx rollers.

They haven't arrived yet but I am much excite.

Hi all.

I'd like to buy the other half a good fitting Jersey. She's 5'10" and all her jerseys are too short and pop up when ridding.

Any long torso'd ladies out there recommend a long, short sleeved Jersey?

Budget?

I find Vulpine stuff pretty long.
Actually, not a jersey, but I have an unworn black henley in L. If you want it you can have it for postage (no idea how much to Oz, maybe a tenner?). But yeah, not a jersey.

The twin six ladies jerseys are awesome. They don't have an elasticated bottom, so they don't ride up. alwaysriding.co.uk often have them. And I think minx-girl.com had some too? (I'm 6' & pretty long in the body) I find the Brixton guys jerseys don't ride up either, but haven't tried the ladies ones.

Thanks guys.

@hoefla, that sounds great, thank you very much! I'll drop you a PM.

Budget, I'm happy to look at whatever, but those twin six jerseys look great, thanks for the tip mrs_socks!

I feel like Sugoi jerseys are quite long. But I am not that long myself so I might be talking nonsense.

No worries! I've had mine for a few years now, and they've stood up really well to repeated washing etc, so good value I reckon!

Ha, I recon us shorter types can still spot a longer jersey @tricitybendix ;)

Those twin six do look good. Reckon I'll pick up one of the sale ones for myself too!

Thanks all.

Btw, the women's scene in Melbourne is nothing compared to back home. I miss this forum!

my home town. Will DAS you when next home.

Got some of the rapha women's leggings in the sale, and they are pretty awesome. Slightly thicker than the winter bibs, but super soft. And they reach my ankles!😍 not sure how that works for smaller peeps, but it basically never happens for me!! Haha.

Huh, I bought some in sale last summer and thought they were awful! Random seams, odd fit. These are the fashion/casual leggings?

I got those, agree with the odd fit. Massive baggy crotch area. V long but I'm v short legged.
V high waisted and they keep falling off my waist, but tight in the front thigh seams (where the two fabrics are bonded).
Sales tho so me, fine for dog-walking in.

Huh, weird. Maybe I'm just an odd shape! Haha. They are a little big on the waist, but that's pretty common for me, I think I have a weird hip/waist ratio. Otherwise they've been good!

They seem to fit me all right. Had to go down a size to make them stay up where they're supposed to... I find them pretty comfy

Are they plain or Liberty? I wonder if they modified the fit a bit.

The plain ones. They do have weird seams, but they seem soft enough I haven't had any probs so far.

Got a Rapha winter jersey in medium and charcoal blue up for grabs.I've worn it a little but it's still in great state. It's a bit too big for me now. It's got a pump pocket in the pocket, which got me super excited when I found it.
£25 / sw4 or possibly old street during daytime.

And the Ana Nichoola star pants.
Nice and soft roubaix inside, reflective ankle zips, size M.
Amazing for roller disco and commuting.
£18 / sw4 or possible old street during the day.

I would love to take this off your hands! Pump pocket, yay! I'm SE11 and SW2 so can easily pop round one evening :)

Really want the star tights! But i have the plain ones in small.. Can i try them on?

@blowfish for sure ! are you going to incredibly cross ? Else I'll be in my office (LMNH) Thursday this week :) but I feel they might be a bit big for you, the waist is a little too wide on me.

@hats All yours my dear, I've PM'd you my number.

I'm away this weekend.. sad to be missing incredibly cross =(

I'm at a meeting in Goodge St Thursday morning so might be able to swing by lunchtime... otherwise I won't be free until after 8 in the evening but will let you know tomorrow

If the tights are too big for @blowfish, I'll take them.
