I am 6’3”, 216 lbs. I ordered two shirts. I initially thought the previous person to try the shirt on stretched out the collar, but the collars are too large on both. I don’t like that look, and it exposes that area to more sun. The size of the collar appeared appropriate on the pictures of the models online. Also, the fabric is very thin; I think it wouldn’t endure a snag from a branch over the trail or unlikely dive from the bike. Typically, I order large tall in size when available, but the sleeve length on the XL seemed long enough when I tried the shirts on. (I wear a 16.5, 36/37 in dress shirts.)
I love it. Very light and skinny sleeves. Like the colors. Good fit.
The sleeves are long enough to provide sun protection for my wrists, not too hot even when 80 deg F out, looks nice, fits well. Comfortable. Ticks the boxes.
I haven’t worn this jersey to speak to the performance. The fit is ok and with Pearl Izumi size Large generally fits me. I’m 5’10” 180 lbs. and athletic build. I don’t really care for the fabric as it feels like I’m wearing a pajama top because the material is too soft and too thin with no structure. Also, the neck hole is abnormally large. I’d love to see the neck cuff wider, and tighter around the neck. Unfortunately, I bought it on clearance and cannot return it, so I’m not sure what I’ll do with it.
Got this on sale and it's fine. Fit is true to size. I'm 6'-1" and 175 and in a L. It's fairly thin though, so if you're looking for protection from branches and bugs this will fit the bill. I prefer these for cooler days in the spring and fall. I'll need a base layer under this one. I'm happy overall though.
Most Pearl Izumi clothes run small. I’m 5’11” with 30 inch waist, with athletic build. The shorts always need to be sized up, so I purchased large jerseys. I’m swimming in these. Can’t return them as they are final sale. I love PI styles but am tired of trying to figure out the inconsistency of the sizing.
Totally digging the Canyon LS. I’ve worn it for cycling, running and about everything else. Worn it on its own and under a wind breaking top, works either way. The fabric is just the right weight and it feels just right - heavy enough and light enough too. The raglan sleeves are a good way to go.
I wanted to get a performance long sleeve jersey for mountain biking and enduro racing that fit close and wasn't super baggy/flappy and this fits the bill perfectly. Lightweight and breathable without being clingy, this jersey has been super comfortable for all day enduro efforts.
I purchased this shirt and the short sleeve version for a two month bike tour. I have not left for that tour yet, but have been riding in this shirt for the past two weeks. The fabric is very comfortable when riding, breaths well, and looks pretty good off the bike too!
Marketed as sun protection, it's poorly designed for that. Though a comfortable fit (medium) the neck is cut so low that 2-3 inches of the upper back and 2-3 inches of the upper chest and shoulders are exposed, Fashionable; yes, A well designed sun shirt; no.
