Holding strong after several months of daily 4-5 hour long use. No frayed edges, no loose threads, and no uncomfortable seam placement. The fabric is four-way stretch and soft. The wrist band fits well to my wrist, and the rest of the glove is a bit more loose on my hand. The soft, flexible, and see-through plastic used on the pads of the fingers and palm of the hand have excellent grip and I love that I can use my phone if I need to without taking off my gloves.
I rate a 4/5 stars because of the shape of the finger tips on the glove, maybe they are sewn with a longer finger in mind, but the very tip of the fingers come to a point that folds over on itself and does unfortunately take away from the plastic grippy feature for touch screen use. I plan to sew the fingers to be shorter and make some minor fitting adjustments to the rest of the glove. I bought a size small and my hands definitely have a lot (maybe a little too much) room. I also happened to buy these on sale so I got two pairs for about $24 which is so cheap I almost feel bad 'complaining' about the fingers and fit of the glove, however hopefully this will help another buyer plan to buy a size down if they enjoy a very very snug fit the way that I do.
I wear this jersey a couple times a week. I'm 5'10" and about 215 pounds. Initially, I thought I bought a size too small (large) because the first zip up was a little snug, but I have a large belly (about 40 inches). I decided to keep the large, and it fits better the more I ride. I prefer the older style shorter sleeve length, but the elbow length seems to be the style now. I went with the light gray/whitish color because I ride before sunrise, and I feel like the lighter color helps drivers see me. Overall, it fits fairly well, and I'm happy with the jersey.
Jersey is thin, almost like a mesh/fishnet type of look. You don't notice it when you take it out of the packaging, but when you wear it outside, you'll either get honked at by motorists for looking so fly, or your riding buds will tease you a bit. But, on the plus side, you'll be way cooler than them, the jersey does make quite a difference in breathability. As it should, you can basically go work at a club wearing this thing.
5' 11", 151 pounds, lanky, and the medium fits as it should. It's not super aero snug, but not flapping around either. All good there.
No sun issues either, I guess there's enough material to keep you from getting burnt, or I haven't ridden it long enough (4 hours so far max in the sun). Seems fine.
Not every "short sleeve" jersey is the same. When looking for temp control + comfort, sometimes you battle acheiving one or the other. This PI Attack Air for me is exactly what I was looking for when it comes to those heavy, HOT & HUMID days. I knew as soon as I tried it on, from how sleek & light it felt. Certain material has that "cooling" factor & for me, this jersey does just that!
