I was skeptical about this jersey (not sure I totally dig the front pocket), but I LOVE it. The storage space seems to be infinite (three huge back pockets, a small side zipper pocket, and the front snap pocket which really comes in handy). Great for longer trips on the bike and good for short distances. It breathes extremely well, especially after it's been soaked with sweat.
The 1 star ding is about the sizing. I haven't done a ride with it yet as I'm going to exchange it for a different size, but these are my initial thoughts. The build quality is nice, the fabric seems good, and I really like the additional side pockets. Sizing - I have a 41.5" chest and a 42-43" beer belly. PI's size chart says I should use a Large. I ordered an XL to have a looser fit. It's wearable, but still very tight fitting (obviously on the belly, but also across my chest). I'm returning this one and have an XXL on order. We'll see if that works any better.
Like the additional small pockets for snacks or a credit card. Normally wear a medium, super tight, returned for a large, fits fine.
I usually ride in a medium Pearl Izumi Jersey. It fits. I knew this was form fitting, so I ordered a bigger size (XL). It's smaller than my medium.
Material is very comfortable. Fit is perfect, not a super tight race fit, but not baggy anywhere. (Size Medium 5'9" 160 lbs) Extra pockets will be great for long rides.
