I was shocked when I received the item; it is see-through. How could it possibly be for cold weather? I understand layering but this is ridiculous. I can wear a short sleeve jersey comfortably down to 55; this wasn’t much use to me at 50. I have a cheap Hind long sleeve running jersey that does a better job but I wanted something with rear pockets. Returned!

I purchased for my 6'5" partner since he's getting more into biking. The large fit well in his chest and arms. He was impressed with the quality and feel of the fabric. Unfortunately, it came just below his belly button. He has a longer torso as well, so sizing up won't resolve the issue.

The Pearl Izumi Pro Thermal Long Sleeve Jersey in Torch Red is just what I was looking for. Fits well, five pocket and extra visibility during these "ride solo" days.

And Competitive Cyclist was easy to work with. When the original order did not arrive they quickly reshipped. And when the fit was not quite right we swapped quickly too.

I just don't review enough good things, but this product is a pretty special piece. It was about 39 when I started and ended at about 55. I typically would try a bunch of different pieces and layering but just opted to try this with a Castelli Prosecco base layer.

Typically I run hot but throughout this temperature range things were pretty much on point. I thought I would be too cold when I started and too hot when I finished but that wasn't the case. This was a pretty hard XC training day with a bunch of punch climbs and flat out efforts. Still, the garment kept me pretty well regulated and not too hot and blowing up.

The fit and finish of the garment is great. The pockets in the rear are a bit funny in that there are a couple of them in each of the three typical sections. This isn't a bad thing but will have you confused reaching back there expecting just one.

Great piece!
