Built for heat, the Elite Pursuit Jersey from Pearl Izumi provides In-R-Cool technology to maximize moisture transfer and evaporative cooling on your ride. The breezy Elite Transfer fabric is engineered to wick moisture off of the skin and transfer it to the jersey's exterior for fast evaporation. The fabric also provides UPF 50+ sun protection for your skin. The Direct-Vent panels provide constant ventilation as you ride and the full length zipper offers further adjustable ventilation. Built for a streamlined fit, the jersey is equipped with an elasticized gripper on the back to keep the hem in place. Three back pockets with a hidden sweat-proof pocket allow you to carry essentials, while reflective elements offer low-light visibility. Built to last, the men's Elite Pursuit Jersey carries a lifetime warranty from Pearl Izumi against defects in materials and workmanship.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice fit, cool in the FL sun. May 3, 2011

I live in South Florida and my typical ride is 20-25 miles. The PI Elite Pursuit Jersey is very light, has an SPF rating of 50+ and keeps me cool, even in the FL sun. I like that the zipper goes all the way down the front, so I can open it up as much as I want. The arm pit mesh keeps air flowing, even when the zip is closed. This one has the traditional 3 back pockets and I prefer that. My chest is 43" and a large fits well. It's very well made and I like the RED!

1.0 out of 5 stars Fabric good, zip ok, fit poor January 4, 2012

By natmat

Bad things first:
[1] 'Elite' would imply suitable for serious rider. However, sleeves are cut to fit when arms hanging down, not raised forward in the normal riding position. So sleeves bunch up under arms pits, making them too short and are always feeling too tight. OK if you spend more time on podium, not OK if you spend more time in saddle.
[2] Loose fitting pockets. Rear pockets OK to stuff things in but wary for the coin or phone, there pockets aren't elastic enough to hold things tight.
[3] Zip a bit flimsy
[4] Gripper dots (not the full rubber waist band) on tail are a bit pathetic, don't really work.

Good:
[1] SPF50+ is good.
[2] Coolish in the heat, since though lightweight seems to keep breezes out.

Only used twice, keeping for casual trips to town only now.
Wouldn't buy again.
Don't recommend :(

5.0 out of 5 stars just about perfect September 1, 2012

By kinzie

I'd gone away from pearl jerseys and shorts for several years. However, I'm back with this jersey, since they finally got rid of cuffed short sleeves. This jersey feels like it was custom made for me. it is form fitting, but not tight. the sleeves actually are just slightly snug, and maintain perfect fit when in drops or hoods, or tops. The pockets felt like they'd be a bit too loose and the stuff may bounce which is a peeve of mine. I carry a c02 cartridge, 2 tire levers, blackberry leyzene inflator, patches and a 10 dollar bill. When in the cycling position, or climbing out of saddle, no movement of pocket contents whatsoever.
the fabric feels very good. the full zip goes all the way down and up easily, which is great when approaching a climb on a very hot day.
The only thing that might improve this jersey would be slightly more mesh material down the sides for the hottest weather.
I'm a 42 in mens suit sizes, 6'1" and 185lbs and purchased the white with green in Large. Highly recommended I'm really happy with this jersey.

If you have a belly or have weightlifter's bulk, or big guns, you'll need to consider sizing up. If you carry tons of stuff in your pockets, I'd recommend a saddle bag.
