    Do you have slightly baggy or tight race tops – I know the aim is skin tight to aid wicking etc but how do most people wear them?

    OK – so I ordered a Foska Top and recommended 37-39 inch chest medium – site says “sport cut – snug but not too tight” so I guess thats right?

    ‘Fitted’ I believe is the term, Wouldn’t go for sprayed on lycra, that’s for skinsuits, but don’t want baggy either, if nothing else things in your pockets bounce around too much with baggy tops.

    I think most people will agree that the “no top” look is best. I saw this picture the other day and it inspired me to give the “no top” look a go. Its definitely quicker and it melts girls hearts and childrens eyes.

    **shudders** I hate stuff bouncing around in my pockets. I’ve got a brand new club jersey that I can’t wear because the manufacturer decided to change their sizing and it’s just a little to loose to use the pockets.

    Fitted every time for me.

    Yep I’ve got a few team jerseys in a larger size and they’re totally useless!

    Hmm – I have about 5 other race toips and those are a little tighter – 1 skin tight the others fitted – the new one it fine at the top but more baggy at the bottom so I guess its just the cut?

    Aye it’s annoying, be alright if I wore it with baggy shorts *shudders even more*.

    Sounds like it’s made for tubby people, Foska are they the people who make the goddam awful Marmite jersey? That’s normally worn by tubbies.

    These ones – Its just a little less fitted around the gut than I would like but I think if I go for the small one it will be too tight around the shoulders?

    Unfortunately I do wear baggies with my race tops 😳

    Your first mistake was buying any of those jerseys, however you don’t appear to like the fit so send it back for a refund and buy something that fits properly from Giordana instead.

    However – It will fit better over my baggies now 😉 It was the design I bought it for though 8)

    Oh dear I didn’t want to admit it but:

    Not really for racing really mostly for training on local (very badly driven) roads 🙂 [crawls away]

    Simple formula:

    If you’re a skinny xc whippet or just ripped – tight top.

    Everyone else – baggy top to disguise the flab.

    No one cares I am sure, but I sent it back and got the small to enhance my ‘one pack’ ;).
