Ridiculous sizing

By sara.j.cla2370848 May 6, 2011

I wanted to love this jersey so much. The construction is excellent and at the Bonktown 82% off price, I thought I had a real winner.

However, I'm 5'5" with a 39" bust and 30" waist, and wear a size M in most other brands (L if it's made for Euro twigs). I ordered the L size in this jersey and I couldn't even get it over my shoulders. The fabric has almost no stretch and the weird horizontal strip around the middle is entirely rigid. I understand they were trying to eliminate as much bladder jiggle as possible, but it just doesn't work in practice. The jersey is so short that were I able to get it on my body, it wouldn't even cover my bellybutton. I hate giving one of my favorite sports manufacturers such a dismal review, but Camelbak needs to go back to the drawing board on this one. I would not recommend this product.
