The Problem

Standard jerseys weren’t made for stronger riders.

Most cycling jerseys are built around a narrow rider profile. For athletic upper bodies, that often means restriction through the chest, shoulders and arms. Sizing up often creates a different problem: excess fabric and too much length at the waist.

FAQ

How is the Vortello V Fit different from a standard cycling jersey?

The Vortello V Fit is designed with more room through the chest, shoulders, back and arms, while keeping a clean, close fit around the waist. It is made for riders who feel restricted in standard jerseys up top, but find that sizing up makes the jersey too loose or too long.

Is Vortello only for very muscular riders?

No. You do not need to look like a bodybuilder to wear Vortello. The fit is made for athletic and stronger-built riders who want more comfort through the upper body without losing the clean silhouette of a performance cycling jersey.

Should I size up or down?

Choose your size primarily based on your chest measurement. If you are between sizes, size down for a closer performance fit or size up for more room through the chest, shoulders and arms. If you have especially large arms or prefer a less compressed feel, sizing up may be the better choice.

Will the jersey still fit tight around the waist?

Yes. That is one of the key ideas behind the Vortello V Fit. The jersey gives you more room where athletic riders usually need it most, while still keeping a clean taper around the waist.

Is this a race fit or a relaxed fit?

It is a performance fit, but adjusted for a stronger upper body. It should feel close and secure on the bike, not oversized or loose, while giving more freedom around the chest, shoulders, back and arms than standard cycling jerseys.
