Women's Long Sleeve Cycling Jerseys

In cool weather, nothing is more cozy than a women’s long sleeve cycling jersey. The women’s specific fit means that the bike jerseys are shaped for female proportions. They have a roomier chest, narrower shoulders, and are broader in the hips. The sleeves fit closely to your arms to avoid flapping in the breeze. Long sleeve jerseys are tailored to your body on the bike, with a drop tail that covers your back side and raglan sleeves that allow you to reach for the handlebars in comfort. Women’s jerseys are cut differently between brands, so it is a good idea to consult the size chart for each garment. Castelli jerseys, for example, typically have a tight fit, while Louis Garneau jerseys come in form-fitting or loose-fitting styles.

Long sleeve women’s jerseys have rear pockets and full length or hidden zippers for ventilation. They are usually made of insulated fabrics with a soft, brushed inner surface that traps warmth next to your skin. The thermal fabric also wicks moisture to keep you dry and warm. For the creme-de-la-creme of cycling apparel, try a form-fitting Assos winter jersey, which features windproof front panels. If you are on a budget, a Bellwether long sleeve jersey has all of the bells and whistles--three rear pockets, a full length zipper, and reflective accents -- at a reasonable price.

Several women’s long sleeve cycling jerseys are made to match perfectly with the bottoms in the same collection. Giordana jerseys look especially sharp when paired with matching Giordana bib tights. Hincapie winter jerseys and Hincapie tights provide the perfect amount of thermal insulation for those long winter base rides.
