How is it that:
- I’ve lost 55 pounds
- I’ve gone down 6″ in bra band size
- I’ve gone down 3 dress sizes
- I’m smack dab in the middle of the “normal” BMI range
and my size in a cycling jersey is XL?

How is it that:
and my size in a cycling jersey is XL?
I feel like a giant when I try to shop at REI. It’s not just the size though. Most sporting apparel seems to be designed for slim rectangular frames with long rises. I wonder if it is truly reflective of the market demand.
Forgot to say congratulations on your fitness milestones!
Because you have to be a very young, small-framed person to fit into a “small” or more likely a “medium”? Because athletic women come in more than 4 sizes, so wherever they bracket the sizes, many very healthy normal people are either going to be too big or too small for the size-ranged? Because hand cycling and your other favorite sports all make for very muscular shoulders, and not too many bicyclists are built that way? And possibly because you don’t like skin-tight clothing. Or because elite bicyclists buy the most jerseys (or their sponsors do), and they tend to be relatively slender-on-top people, compared to the general population?
(And why is it you & I even care about this?? We have been warped.)
And I have NO idea about jersey sizes, but woman
YOU ROCK

Congratulations! I’m a 6/8 in real clothes and an extra large in everything fitness related. It’s a cruel hoax.
