What is the difference between a "Race Fit" and a "Drop Fit" ?
We designed our Race Fit jersey based on a European fit. It's been crafted for the cyclist who wants a lean slim fit. Usually our pro riders, elite category 1 and 2 riders and many competitive racing teams tend to lean towards this fit. If you're a racer or a competitive cyclist, it does not automatically mean you should order the race fit. There are many racers who order the drop fit because height and body structure must always be taken into consideration. We always recommend ordering a fit kit so that you can always make the appropriate choice in fit and size.
​
We designed the Drop Fit (straight cut) jersey on the basis that everyone cyclist should have the opportunity to not only enjoy the fabrics and craftsmanship we offer, but a cyclist should need to feel comfortable. The drop fit accomplished this goal. It is not baggy, nor oversized. It is made with the same basis of a race fit but with a looser feel to the side panels and a longer waist finish.

To give you a better comparison between the Race Fit and a Drop Fit, we can classify a Large Race Fit to be similar to a Small Drop Fit. Therefore if you're usually a Large in a Race Fit, you will need a Small in a Drop Fit. A last detail that we would like you to know is that a Race Fit is 1.5 inches shorter than a Drop Fit when comparing both fits in the same size.
