How do I know if my bib shorts are the right size?

[whitesix]

Remind me not to order a pair of these shorts for a few months; just in case.

On sizes Polaris stuff seems to be what you would normally expect not a size too small

i was advised to buy medium but they are too big , the pad moves around .

As someone who somehow manages to do all my cycling wearing, shock horror, regular everyday clothing - I always find myself torn between shaking my head in disbelief and just laughing when I read yet another thread about trying to get cycling specific clothing that actually fits the wearer.

As I've gotten older I have toned down any bright cycling specific clothing (I have lights though) and I like nothing more than a 'pootle' around locally in my t-shirt, trainers and walking pants (thin shorts underneath for chafing purposes though) on a sunny day.

When you put them on does your voice increase by two octaves? = too small

I have just started to read the thread and was about to suggest this.

Reading this thread has cheered me up (broke my tooth)

I just bought some medium Planet X bib shorts and they seem fairly accurate resizing. The bottom half is snug enough, although the top half could be a little comfier on my chest/shoulders (bloke without moobs), but haven't yet tried on my bike so good to learn they loosen up a little. I always wear civvies over the top
