El Roo sizes are based on American sizing. We base our sizes on average t-shirt sizing, so whatever size you wear in t-shirts is most likely the size El Roo jersey you'll want to choose.
The short answer: most riders wear the same size El Roo jersey as their normal t-shirt size. Check out the size guide pages for detailed information.

If you're between sizes, we recommend sizing up for a more relaxed fit or sizing down if you prefer a closer fit. Check out the size guide pages for measurements, and remember — our 30-day return policy gives you plenty of time to make sure the fit is right.

El Roo jerseys are for anyone ready for a different kind of cycling jersey — whether traditional tight jerseys don't flatter your body, you have a bigger frame, or you're simply ready to be more comfortable in your bike kit. You'll find El Roo jerseys on the trail, road, gravel rides, and cruising around town — on riders of all ages and sizes.
We're focused on helping you chase meaningful gains, not marginal gains. That means looking forward to your next ride, feeling comfortable and confident in your kit, and smiling more on the bike. When your gear fits right, your rides are more enjoyable.
Most cycling brands design for pros — skin-tight, aero-optimized, and completely unforgiving. That works great if you're racing for podiums, but not everyone wants to wear (or looks their best in) skin-tight gear. Traditional jerseys often don't accommodate different body shapes, they can be uncomfortable for longer rides, and they're not very forgiving if your body changes. El Roo takes a different approach — comfort and fit that works for you.
Yes. While our women's jerseys share the same relaxed-fit design and functional pockets as our core collection, they're cut specifically for women's bodies. The fit is designed to give you more comfort and room in the bust, hips, and waist — so you get the comfort and performance you're looking for without compromising on fit.
The fit is relaxed and comfortable, giving you room to move freely without the restriction of skin-tight jerseys. It's not loose or baggy — the fabric moves with you without getting in your way. You may notice some movement from the jersey fabric at high speeds, but in our experience, it's never felt like the jersey slowed us down or affected our enjoyment.
SuperPockets are designed with a top flap that folds over to keep your phone, snacks, tools, and other essentials secure inside. We've ridden on all sorts of terrain and nothing has fallen out. The middle pocket has a zipper for extra peace of mind — it's a great spot for keys and credit cards
Core and Element jerseys have two SuperPockets, one zippered pocket, and one open-top pocket for taller items. Flow and Summit jerseys have three open-top pockets and one zippered pocket. Check out the Jersey Comparison pages for a side-by-side look.

Any ride essentials you want quick access to — phones, keys, snacks, energy gels, tools, money, and more.
Absolutely. The jersey pockets work great with a backpack — keep quick-access items like snacks and your phone in the jersey pockets, and store bigger or less-used items in your backpack. No more taking off your entire pack just to grab a snack or take a photo.
Wash in cold water with similar colors. We line dry ours to extend fabric life, but you can also tumble dry on low. The fabric is designed to bounce back wash after wash.
El Roo jerseys are made from lightweight, breathable performance fabric (100% polyester, 140 gms) that's moisture-wicking and quick-drying. The fabric is designed to move with you and keep you comfortable whether you're on a quick ride or an all-day adventure.

The idea sparked on a flight to Costa Rica, where Spanish was on our minds as we dreamed of a better bike jersey. We wanted pockets that felt natural, stayed secure, and carried plenty — just like a kangaroo's pouch.
