I have a Autumn/Spring LS Jersey and it's a snug fit. The description is Race Fit mind you, so I was well aware that it was designed to be snug.

Other styles have a different fit, so it's impossible to give advice on size without having experience of the cut. Always worth trying on, or ordering multiple sizes online.

As far as quality is concerned, it's definitely in line with the likes of Castelli, in fairness. I use mine in the Winter, as I run warm, and it's very comfortable.

Always raises a smile when people say Castelli or Ale are sized small.

@vickster has it right by just simply comparing brands.

One persons undersized Castelli is another persons oversized Altura. :smile:
