Brand new with tags. Never worn. It's the Windstopper version of the Nopinz Blizzard jersey. Selling because it's too small for me (for reference, I'm 183 cm and 69 kg).
Try before you buy in Clapham or before this Wednesday night's training session at HHV.
Yours for £90. Save yourself a tenner on the list price and a five-week wait.

Thanks Phil but I've actually already ordered one in a medium. And from, what you've said about sizing, I think the arms are going to be too short for me too...

If the arms are too short on both the small and medium could there be a manufacturing issue?

Well Andy you must have very short arms! No offence!
My aqua Blizzard Jersey in medium (pit to end of sleeve) is only 45cm (all my other medium long sleeve jerseys and jackets (Giordana/Assos/Rapha) are all 52 -55cm long
Would be really interested what your sleeve length is Andy on your Nopinz ? It might be a manufacturing fault on mine after all?
Nopinz couldn't give a flying fcuk even though I emailed them my measurements and they told me to order a medium.
I think my comment to everyone would be to spend that £25 more and fill in the made to measure form as Nopinz sizing for me is way out compared to other manufacturers.

Alright mr Tickle, I’ve never had any complaints... Inspired by your comparisons I laid it over my castelli perfetto and you’re right, armpit to end of sleeve is around 4cm shorter. But, and this is I suspect the issue, from the top it’s way longer. Unlike the perfetto the sleeve makes up the part that goes around the front of the shoulder. It’s just sleeve, then the collar. Nothing in between. (Imagine sleeves stitched on to a vest rather than a gillet that covers your shoulders ) So I suspect if You have broader shoulders / wider chest you’ll run into difficulty.

I've had quite a few problems with Nopinz service and with their sizing in the past. The lead time on kit is poor also.

Hi Stephen
Thats really interesting, I would agree, their sizing is dreadful.
Ive had a reply back from Nopinz saying they are not taking any responsibility (even though they recommended my size) as samples were sent to the club!
Does anyone have any idea where these samples are?
My medium jersey is only fit for a short armed thick necked weight lifter........mmmmmm maybe I should just go to the gym!

Disappointing to hear some of you are having difficulty with the No Pinz sizing, it's worth remembering that No Pinz kit is a bespoke piece of clothing made to your order and one of the advantages is that they can accommodate a myriad of options but YOU do need to tell them if you are not Mr Average (and who is?) Because of this, any sizing chart from any company is always a guide only. Before ordering and you are unsure of any aspect (especially with the more expensive kit) I would strongly recommend:
As each item is made to order there is little wriggle room for alteration or refunds once ordered, however No Pinz are reasonable and I understand are altering some orders post delivery - but not everything is possible.
Finally - a reminder we moved to No Pinz because they offer a vast array of racing kit that's always available to all members (and claim to make you faster by 4 watts) but a little legwork before ordering will pay handsome dividends.
