baggy cycling jerseys

[SonofSid]

Anyone got opinions on these less tight fitting style jerseys? I'll be touring rather than racing so can't think any real advantage to skin tight...? Unless the wicking element? Any other stockists you know?

I have the Endura Hummvee S/S jersey like this one -> http://www.cyclesense.co.uk/products.php?plid=m3b0s54p7339 for some reason Endura only show a stupid drawing which looks nothing like it not a picture.

It is like a looser fitting jersey with rear pockets without being all flappy at speed. I got the back one and returned it and swapped it for the red one and I always wear it on rides now I love it.

Just dont get the back one it looks shite

These are ok http://www.sportsdirect.com/muddyfox-short-sleeve-cycle-jersey-636076
I have one and is a looser fit than a full on road jersey. I also have a couple of these which aren't too tight either http://www.decathlon.co.uk/EN/sport-basic-top-black-69515828/
very reasonable to.

Oddly, I've found Lidl's finest one of the best fits and at £6 a pop cheap as chips; tight enough, but not so much that they're cling on. As others have said, Foska stuff seem a sensible fit also. HH training tops are pretty good too in terms of being tight enough but too figure hugging. I use them for running, but suitable for cycling if you can do without zips and pockets and they're nice a lightweight in this hot weather.

I'm generally a medium and tried on a mavic jersey today which I reckon I might have got into when I was 8 (I'm now 41). I'm a pretty slim bloke, but it was ridiculously small. I then tried a large which wasn't much better, but I could at least do it up and just about continue breathing.

Baggy cycling jersies go by another name.

A "Parachute".

I have some merino based ones from Ground Effect. Very pricey but ideal for touring. http://www.groundeffect.co.nz/product-detail-MED-SUM.htm

I have the Endura Humvee - its nice but rather too many seams on the shoulders. Proper picyure here www.tredz.co.uk/.Endura-Hummvee-Short-Sleeve-Jersey_29547.htm
I also have an Altura Summit, which has a nicer feel, and cheaper (£30 post free from Merlin - recommended), but no rear pockets (which I don't use anyway). Neither are 'flappy', but are comfortable. I also use Berghaus TechTee's - long and short sleeve - lighter than the jerseys but a bit flappy if you want to press on.
