Our freshest jersey from our friends at Eliel, only available as a 'Team Issue' until now. TCH staff have been representing the signature Saguaro all over the world for the past six months, and we're now offering guests the first opportunity to order this jersey for themselves.
Size info from the staff:
- Cory Kaufman, 6'1", 175 lbs Jersey size: LRG—"It's a small large. Typically, I can squeeze into a medium of most jerseys, but it was a firm large. If I were an inch taller, I would probably upsize to an XL just for extra length in the front. At 6'1", I have about two inches of fabric before my stomach would show.
- Hannah Siler - 5'6", 140lbs Jersey size: MED "I typically wear a small in most bike jerseys, but luckily I tried on a sample size in the Eliel tops before ordering! These definitely run small, and I could barely zip up the size small. The medium fits tight but not crazy aero tight, and the sleeves are definitely on the smaller side."
- Michael Kernan, 6'2", 175lbs, Jersey size: LRG - "I usually wear a Medium in most other bike jerseys, sometimes even a Small, but I've been wearing a Large with the Eliel jersey and it's perfect. I tried a Medium on but it was way too small and my belly was poppin' out the lower half."
- Chloe Rice, 5'3" 145lbs, Jersey size: LRG - "I have a short torso, so I went with a smaller jersey so the pockets don't sag. Tight fit around the shoulders and biceps (I could skip arm day 🤪)
- James Farrugia, 5'8", 195lbs, Jersey size: LRG - "Very snug fit, super aero, and could also fill out an XL, but chose the large for length; I have T-Rex arms 💪"
- Aimee Heffernan, 5'10", 155lbs, Jersey size: LRG
Sizing Recommendations:
In our experience, the general consensus is to go up at least one size from your typical jersey size, and consider going up two sizes if you're looking for a roomier fit. We love the quality and performance of this particular model of jersey, but it does have a more 'aero fit' rather than a 'club cut'. Expect the shoulders, arms, and waist to all sit closer to the body. All of our staff have found the jerseys to be very comfortable and breathable while out on the bike.
