Women's Bike Clothing

[SallyB]

Where do you find the best selection of women’s cycling clothing? I really struggle to find colourful cycling jerseys for women. Most of the products that I see available in the UK are in very basic paneled designs and in fairly bland colours. If anyone has any advice on where to purchase some tops a little bit different then I would welcome it.

www.cycle-clothing.co.uk has some brighter colours. Northwave tends to be a bit more patterned, similarly Pearl Izumi. Corrine Dennis always gets good press too

This is quite lively, but an XL only depending on your size http://www.evanscycles.com/products/mulebar/girls-race-short-sleeve-jersey-ec026351#BVRRWidgetID

On the other end of the size scale for a tenner in XS http://www.evanscycles.com/products/specialized/arona-2009-womens-jersey-ec029431

Evans have plenty, also on sale e.g. http://www.evanscycles.com/categories/clothing/jerseys/f/female?page=3

Some of the Morvelo designs are nice

Foska always interesting if you want to be covered in baked beans say

That said most of my stuff is black other than hi-viz jackets!

I found a couple of good bright tops by Polaris (I think). I have to be careful with jerseys as they are usually too tight for my hips, and too short (I have a long body). I prefer to bu freeride/mountain biking jerseys, and can never wear a man's jersey without it riding up appallingly.

I don't mind the Polaris gear but I always try and look for a well designed top rather than something in plain colours. I have come across this brand http://www.twinsix.com/gear/womens-tech which offers different products with interesting colours. However, I do think that nearly £50 plus overseas shipping costs is a little steep. I want to look good on my bike but not that good!!

Thanks to all for your suggestions - keep them coming...!!

What with the wind & cold this weekend I'll need a ski jacket rather than a cycling jersey!!
