Finally, it's not too long! I know there are mixed opinions but I'll provide context. I've worn Quest jerseys for years and they fit well on my body, I'm fit, broad shoulders, no belly and not skinny. Most men's cycling jersey's are built for a beanpole body types. So the only issue I had with the Quest jersey was the extra length (not found on most "comp" style jerseys). Now it's perfect imho. I also love the solid-color options. It's clean, sporty and highly-visible. Always a tremendous value, fits true to size and lasts for years.
Been riding for 30 years. Been a big guy for more than that. I could never find a jersey that wasn't completely unflattering in 2X or even 3X in most brands. Having tried a PI 2X back in the day I assumed there was no hope and never would be. On a whim I bought a 3X Quest jersey and discovered a new world. Finally. . . . POCKETS! Can't tell you what a difference this made. Immediately went out to buy 3 more. I'm tempted to try the 2X just to check. Maybe when I find a good sale. I'm a huge fand of PI product in the first place. I'm sure 90% of my cycling gear is PI - shorts, bibs, arm/leg warmers. Finally, I have access to tops, too!
PI has three different "fits"; Compressive, Form Fit, and Semi-Form Fit. Note closely the models; they get heavier or more muscular it relation to the fit. Clearly the first one is for super euro-dog skinny types with pipe cleaner arms and no pecs! The Form Fit might be considered an Athletic Fit. The Semi-Form Fit jerseys have folds and wrinkles on the models indicating who might fit them. If you're unsure, buy two sizes or all three and return the ones that don't fit. It will be worth the aggravation. I bought the Semi-Form Fit for my 5'6", 140lb. self. It's long enough to prevent any crack exposure without being stupid long.
This is a nice shirt. Too bad it is so short. I am 6ft, 180 lbs, and have a 42" chest. The sizing guide says I'm a Large. I ordered the Large and it fits great, except it is way too short. When I iift my arms over my head, my belly (in all its glory) is fully exposed.
I purchased a Pearl Izumi Men's Quest Short Sleeve Jersey in bright yellow. I am a 59-year old casual gravel bike rider (think paved trails with a bit of off-road) just a touch over 6' 0" and 190 lbs. I wasn't looking for something super skin-tight for racing. I had purchased a different brand of jersey in a large size but it was a bit too tight for my taste. I am very happy with this jersey. It is snug enough without feeling feeling restrictive. I also bought the same Pearl Izumi jersey in long sleeve and am happy with that as well. The price was right for my needs and type of cycling.
For the price.....this is the worst jersey you could imagine. CHEAP POLYESTER. Polyester is super cheap. And it sucks. There's jerseys on Amazon below $40 dollars that would make this jersey look like a $5 dollar jersey, which is exactly what it is. This is $2 worth of material and the fit....don't even get me started. If your fat and just started cycling you might like this jersey...got plenty of room. It's disgusting. Complete waste of money.
At first when I tried fitting into these jerseys I thought the just ran small but looking at the fit type seeing that is a semi-fit I embraced this type of fit considering that they are fitted in the right areas and roomy in the right areas. I’m coming from the old quest jerseys and the pockets in the bag will hang with the stuff I had on them making me look like I was wearing a diaper lol but with this semi-fit everything fit the way it should fit and I love them now.
A complete waste of time ordering this, I should have learned my lesson reading other reviews of Pearl Izumi jerseys and having ordered one last year (and shipping it back!!). I love their shorts and other products, but their jerseys in recent past recently are just consistently short - way too short. Otherwise they fit snug and are comfortable. I'm not overly tall - 5'-10", so it's time to stay away from PI tops for good!
Just got this quickly in the mail. It’s a very bright yellow/green which is what I wanted. After many years sharing the beach roads with cars in Florida, I’m very much a visibility over style guy. The fit is casual but accurate to size. It’s not a cling to your body fit if you order your normal t-shirt size. Not baggy, just right for a semi casual, semi aggressive road rider. I highly recommend this jersey.
I've own many PI quest jersey's over the years and it just seems the sizes just get bigger and bigger. I purchase medium and its slightly longer and baggier. Its feeling more like a poncho than a jersey. I may have to start moving to a size small.
