Review: Pactimo jerseys

When I ordered these jerseys I got three. I stumbled across this co. by accident. I probably would not have ordered but they were having an effective sale for the holiday. I have rode in them a couple of times and washed them a couple of times.
Quality:
The fabric is very nice, feels good on the skin. I don't know how well it breathes, how does someone like me test this? The temp in UT is hot at this time. The afternoon ride did not make me crazy with the heat the jersey breathed well and wicked body perspiration away efficiently. After 100 miles would not have any attention on the jersey this is good. Better than a lot of jerseys I have tried. Rear pockets are tight fitting with enough room for food, cell and extras, was not worried about items bouncing out.
Visual:
I got the Day of the Dead, the China Jersey and the Leif Kruse. I think the jerseys look sharp and have very good graphics. When I rode with the Chinese jersey I got plenty of looks. Was afraid some one would have patriotic issues, don't think anyone even knew what it was actually. I love the Day of the Dead, Its very graphic, beautiful!
Cleaning:
I washed these on gentle with cold water with liquid detergent. When dried after hanging up the jerseys looked like new with no sign of wash ware and the graphics held like new. No light lingering odor which I sometimes get with other brands. The will stand up to the rigors of the riding process for a good while.
Sizing:
When I first got the jerseys I thought they would be to tight, these seem to be a race fit which means they are a snug fit but not uncomfortable. The fabric design helps this having a kind of vertical rib style
Value:
I hate paying so much for cycling clothing but compared to others this is a good value. I turned around and ordered two more jerseys after this. The articles I ordered had a three week delivery time which would be off putting to some.
I found the wait was ok for me vs the quality of the garments. Thanks much.
