"Love the service when I called with a question prior to purchase, delivery time, quality of fabric and color's For more satisfaction I recommend: 1) offer sizes S, M, and L 2) consider stretchier fabric, so can order tighter for less wind resistance. ( the size S/M cut under my arm pits a bit, but the size M/L was baggy in the arms, causing wind resistance and less sleek look. I am still glad that I bought them! Now I can wear my no sleeve snd short sleeve jerseys and get the sun protection and visibility from the bright colors!"
"Love these versatile sleeves."
"I ordered the S/M and it was a bit tight. I'm dress size 4 so I exchanged it for L-XL and it is much better. I wear these hiking or walking and am asked where I got it all the time. Please bring back the white!"
"I love the concept of the bolero, A medium was way too small and I'm very petite 5'2" and 115 lbs. I also don't appreciate being charged shipping for the return when many companies don't. I don't think I'll order from Terry again. Too many other options out there"
"At 5'3, 132 lbs, large-chested and broad shouldered, I struggled to choose the right size for this bolero. I chose S/M and it's a bit tight over and around the front of my shoulders. It certainly won't billow or flap. Otherwise, arms not too tight, it's not too tight across the back, it's stretchy, and the hot pink is very visible, as desired. Note that if you're taller and longer armed than me, the arms might not reach your gloves. Terry should consider making this bolero with longer arms. The fabric is as described (slightly heavier than Terry's lightest summer weight jersey fabric) and I anticipate it will serve the purpose of sun protection and a bit more warmth when starting a ride."
"The S/M really is a Medium and hence the arms are big and flappy in the wind. I found out after I cut the tag and wore it on a ride."
"I am easily swatting during our bike rides so I postpone to use them. But later on I made alteration with big mesh on the back and shoulders. Now it is the protection from the cold morning and hot sunny day! Couple of extra hours to sew but it is worthwhile."
"I sized up to a large and it's very comfortable. Perfect for cooler temperatures and/or for sun protection."
"Just enough warmth to take chill off, light enough for sun shade. I sized up to L based on prior review. Fits fine but smaller size would have fit too. I'm a medium in Terry jersey. Love the bright yellow. Cars and other riders can easily see me"
