I like the fact that these Corvara shirts are light weight and this great for summer riding. I also love the fact that there is no elastic at the bottom of the shirt unlike other cycling jerseys. The fit is slightly big but once again great for the heat of summer time. I bought three of these Corvara Jerseys so that suggest I am satisfied with the purchase and definitely would recommend the productI Love this jersey. I'm not a big gal, but I really hate the tight jerseys, I feel like a stuffed sausage. This one I got in a XL and so glad I did. It fits great!! Just a little loose and that is exactly what I like. It is SUPER light weight and cute as hell. I'm going to see what other jerseys they have and order more.I love this jersey. I have the Slow & Steady turtle one too but this is the design I get comments on.I liked the little zippered pocket on the sideI love this Corvara top! It’s incredibly lightweight and airy. It looks exactly as pictured and is right and vibrant. It has solid pockets to hold some items while you’re biking, but this would also make an excellent top for anything outdoor. I use mine for hiking.I ordered my normal size small. The fit is great for a small and fits like a traditional small.I highly recommend this top. It’s super high quality and cute!I needed something to brighten up another dreary pandemic winter. Corvara’s Bike Shirt provided the fix. The charmingly whimsical extra-terrestrial motif; “Believe” slogan; and eye-catching magenta, lime green, black, and white palette not only lighten my mood but also brightens up the local bike trails for everyone else.From the moment I slipped it on, I was immediately in love with Corvara’s bike shirt. Below is my list of the reasons why I am a fan:MATERIAL - 100% polyester, ultra-thin, highly elastic; airy & breathable, perfect for warm climate; (Because it is now averaging 60 degrees, I layer it with a black long-sleeve thermal underneath.)SIZING – comfortable fit, not too form fitted, not too baggy. (Because it is winter, I sized up to accommodate a long sleeve thermal. The two tops look great together. See photo.)STITCHING - neat and relatively strong with an absence of any puckering; I found only one area with loose threads, but the hem is still secure.ZIPPERS - open and close with ease; no imperfectionsPOCKETS - Zippered pocket is big enough to hold a driver’s license, cash, and keys but not roomy enough to hold a cell phone. I hesitate to hold anything too heavy in them because the material is ultra-light weight and thin. Storage is not an issue with me because my bike has a locking bike bag.FIT & LOOK – sleek, snazzy, and snappy = FLATTERING; Coincidentally, I already owned a yellow-green bike jacket and was pleased to find that it looks great with the bike shirt because it makes ET pop. (See photo.)DESIGN – whimsical, bright, and cheery; The color scheme and ET theme with its “Believe” slogan have been a pleasant conversation starter when I ride on our busy beach bike path.PRICE – on the high side for a wisp of a shirt but because of its quality and look = PRICELESSFINAL ASSESSEMENT – I highly recommend Corvara Bike Wear because of its quality, fit and style. Any product that brings a little joy and sunshine into my life during these dreary pandemic days is worth its weight in gold.I normally wear US size small or size 4. I got a small size and it fits well. it is very thin and light weight. It is a fitted style. I love the vibrant color. I can wear it as a jacket or as a shirt. Great for summer.What a perfect way to signal to any visiting aliens, that I am ready to welcome them with open arms, as I zip around on my bike. Just kidding, but I think the quirkiness of the shirt meshes well with the quirkiness of my attitude. I recently took a trip to Roswell and this shirt is a great way to remember that trip.Fit:The shirt is stretchy, yet loosely form fitting, so this is something that could work for a variety of body shapes. At 143 lbs and a 34 inch waist, the Large was slightly snug, but without feeling too tight. It had a good fit through the shoulders, chest, arms, arms and torso, yet was a little snug around the hips.Functionality:The shirt is made from a 100% polyester, moisture wicking material. The pockets in the back are large and deep enough to hold all of the basics, such as water bottles, snacks, phones, etc. There is also a zippered pocket so you can keep your valuables like ID cards and money. The zippers are all plastic but slide nicely and don’t catch on the material.After an initial wash and air dry, I did not notice any color bleeding or shrinkage. Overall, I highly recommend this as an affordable and quirky bike shirt, for any alien lover. Now all I need is a tinfoil bike helmet.
