Buy Pearl Izumi Men''s Elite Tri Sleeveless Jersey Now
I''m 6''2" and about 175 lbs and the large fits well (but I could have gotten the medium if I wanted it tighter since it is long enough). Remember it isn''t a compression though it is close enough to not flap while riding and it''s just loose enough to allow some air flow while running. It is quite long so while running it doesn''t ride up and is very comfortable. Great fabric but I wouldn''t wear it in the swim leg unless it is under a wetsuit since it isn''t tight enough for that. It is also my favorite bike jersey for warm to hot rides. Looks great too :) Nice fabric and breathable. I recommend it!Read Best Reviews of Pearl Izumi Men''s Elite Tri Sleeveless Jersey Here

Great quality. I will be running in it for a triathlon in February.Top is made well and fit is great. The only issue with fit is that the bottom of the arm opening is tight against the side of my chest and I''m worried about chaffing. I''m 5''7", 160lbs with a muscular build (40 chest/30 waist) rather than a runners build and I ordered a Medium.
The bottom seam on the armpit opening is big as well. It rubs against my arm with more vigorous movement. Again, this is likely because I have big arms for someone my size.
I''m thinking its not going to be a problem, but its something to be aware of. I will try to give an update in the future.
-------------------
UPDATE: The large seam and tight armhole haven''t led to any chaffing. Its hardly noticeable during my runs and was great during my most recent 12km run. I have not taken it in the pool yet, and do not plan to.
New issues to be aware of: The top is a little longer than I''d lik in the back. This is of course to cover up the gab from traditionally short tri-shorts, but it makes the pockets further away from your reach. The other pocket-issue I have is that the flaps on top of the pockets make it a little difficult to get into during a run. Of course these flaps are great for minimizing water during the swim, but is a pain when I''m trying to grab a gel.
This is still my favorite tri-top for the money. I just plan on altering the pockets to make them have easier access.
