SS Jersey for the big shouldered

Posted on
  • On the hunt for a short sleeve cycling jersey, but having some issues due to my shoulder size. I am pretty slim and tall (6 foot and 70 kgs with a 32" waist and ~15" collar) however due to doing a fair amount of rock climbing it seems my shoulders are bigger than the average cyclists, hence I seem to have problems with tops that fit in every other way, but garotte my armpits/bunch up round the shoulders in the size (normally Large) that fits the rest of my torso and are then too big in the torso in next size up (XL).

    Does anyone else have this issue, or is it just me? Any recommendations of jersey styles/manufacturers with accomodating cuts in the shoulder region welcomed (I would like rear pockets if possible)! I am fed up of having to return mail order jerseys and the selection in my local shops is limited. Particularly interested if anyone can comment on the Torm sizing as they look super nice.

  • Hahaha

    I have to have them altered...

    I did find one that was pretty good. F430 Altura i think... I see if i can find if im right

    Buy bigger and have the body taken in?

  • I had it done the other way, but that means getting some extra material. But yes, the principle is the same. I guess its easier to take away than to add in.

  • reading other forums, they suggest just taking the elastic out
