How To Pick the Correct Size Cycology Jersey

Cycology Jersey Fit Guide

We get a lot of people asking about the cut and fit of our cycling jerseys. There is NO standard worldwide fit among cycling brands....which does make it hard. Please use our sizing tool located on every product page and enter your own measurements for sizing recommendations. Additionally we have provided the garment measurements below.

Lay your favourite fitting cycling jersey flat, then measure the crucial areas: 

  • across the chest just under the armhole
  • the zipper length for the front
  • the back length from under the collar to the bottom of the hem.

Compare these to our garment measurements below for the cycling jersey you are interested in. 

We have 3 jersey fits:

PERFORMANCE FIT- MEN & WOMEN

These are made with superb thermal regulating, very fine high-stretch fabrics. They're light-as-air, meant to be worn like a second skin. Beautifully cut and supremely comfortable to wear, designed to fit firm so they breathe and move with the body.

These have:

  • raglan sleeves
  • a collar
  • YKK zipper
  • grippers on sleeves
  • the front panel has laser cut gripper
  • the sides and back panel have silicone gripper elastic.
  • 3 rear pockets + valuables zippered pocket 

If you like a fitted jersey and are in doubt on sizing it may be worth sizing up as we get more returns due to customers finding the jerseys smaller than they expect.

RELAXED FIT- MEN

This jersey style is for those people who prefer a looser fitting garment without the high stretch body fit of our current Performance range. It is designed with a more generous cut, made from 2 way stretch fabric with loose cuffs on the sleeves for full freedom of movement. The relaxed fit is more like a comfy tee, with a zipper. NOT firm on the body. Very tough fabric and 3 rear pockets, plus a zippered safety pocket. This cut is often referred to as a Club Fit.
