Returned 2/3s of my recent order for fit issues. Sizing felt ok-ish but cut was strange.
I returned the Explore glasses because they're just an odd geometry. The lenses are perfectly perpendicular to the arms (which are also a bit low on the frame imo) which means there is a huge gap between the bottom of the glasses and your cheeks. A simple tilt like most visor-style glasses have would fix that.
Returned a Classic jersey because it was bunching up a lot under my arms. Admittedly it was a risky move ordering a jersey in white but I have an older Classic II jersey in black which fits very nicely.
Perhaps too late I've started looking more closely at the product photos. If you look at the model shots with the Explore glasses you can actually see that they don't really fit in the photos either -
And likewise with the Classic jersey, many of the model shots are with the jersey unzipped. Even on a skinny guy the jersey is bunched up a bit -
So now I'm in two minds about ordering something else. I like the look of the Pro Training jersey, but all of the on-bike shots seem to show a lot of laddering of the fabric at the sides of the (Legion of LA) riders.
Anyone got the Training jersey in hand and can comment on the fit?
