Cycle clothing size charts

Bib sizing. Lusso sizing is probably on the mark for me in a L but they are a loose fit I would say, however if you go to the European makes such as Sportful, Nalini or Exteondo i`m an XL it would seem and even then they are nipit. I go buy waist size which seems about right in bibs. Jerseys/Jackets as above and defo an XL for most, chest size seems about bang on for me.

I would expect Lusso's sizing to be spot on - his factory is about 200 yards from where I'm typing now and he's a proper English cyclist, not an Italian racing snake.

apparently all sportswear makers think largish people don't get out of jim jams.

they must lead sheltered lives as there are several porkers on our road squeezed into trackies.

cycle clothing is a nightmare for you to get if you have a large chest

When i bought my first pair they were bang on, slimmed a bit hence they are a wee bit looser now and not as comfy as first. The sizing is accurate for sure just a more relaxed fit, think regular jeans rather than skinnys

What's even more annoying is when you've found an item that fits, you then order another - the same tights from Tenn, in this case, the same size as the ones you have, and they are a completely different size and fit, in spite of having the same size label. It's a lottery

If the supplier has free returns, buy three different sizes and see which one you don't need to send back.

It's called vanity sizing. Try buying a pair of trousers in the same waist you wore ten years ago, if you haven't added weight you'll find they will fall down.

Cheers, I feel better now.

I think.
