I've been taking full advantage of my prime membership and have tried and returned several Gorewear, Rapha, Endura , and Pas Normal road/gravel styles and sizes. Here's what you need to know about Gorewear:Gore lists both EU and US sizing, which normally means to size up, but Amazon goes by the US sizing, so it might not be needed - read on for more.These aren't cheap jerseys, but the quality is on par with the price. The cut & colors are modern, and branding is tastefully minimal. All of Gore's jersies are made of a nice, premium fabric and ride reasonably cool, but you can find better airflow on summer-specific jersies.For my 3 - 5 hour rides in midwest & east coast summers, it's not a problem.Sizing - the tricky partMe - 5'8", 150lbs, lean, but a bit of "extra" right above the waist. Annoyingly right between US S and M.Waist 33" / 84cmChest 37 / 94cmShoulders 42 / 106cmBeing of slight build, I make the most of my ability to pull off the cyclist look and prefer my jersies snug, but not vacuum tight.Torrent Jersey - This jersey has an uncompromising race fit. Even within your proper size, a broad chest and thin waist are needed. If you're even slightly squishy around the middle (like me) you end up with an ego-bruisingly tight fit around your belly and floppy chest/shoulders.My final preference was US-M / EU-L. It's still a touch tight in the midsection, but I can lay off the cake to fix that.Everyday Jersey - the race fit jersey of the people. You still need to be on the lean side to make this work, but it's much more forgiving without becoming a loose, flappy mess. Be aware that the sizing changes though. My preference for a snug fit ended up being US S / EU M, but bumping up one size would probably work too. Again, cake moderation....After all the rounds of ordering, I'm really happy with the jerseys, but would advise Prime ordering several and returning the ones that don't work
