Stolen Goat Orkaan sizing advice

[IBarrett]

Afternoon all.

I'm thinking of treating myself to a Stolen Goat Orkaan but I'm on the cusp of their sizing and wondered if anyone can offer some help

I'm 6ft 1in
42in / 106cm chest
36in / 91cm waist
85-87kg
long in the body

Do I get (L) or (XL)
Or get both and return the one which fits least best

Thanks and happy cycling!

I would say L if you like a close fit. I used to have one, but sold it as it was too baggy around the shoulders.

I have a SS jersey and it is true to size. I have been told this about the Orkaan LS although the wording used was ‘slightly more forgiving’ for the ‘everyday’ models.

I have a similar chest size but I am shorter and have a smaller waist so fit their Large to perfection

I gave up on buying jerseys online, sizing charts are not anything like the real size, cost me so much on return postage, unless you use Wiggle then returns are free.

Thats useful to know @derrick Thanks. One of the places I could buy from is Wiggle, although they don't have my first choice colour scheme

Thanks Vickster, never quite sure how useful it will be to contact a company so I've now dropped them a note.

@vickster thanks for the steer. They were very helpful and I've placed my order. Here is their recommendation should anyone find this thread in future
"my best guess is that the Large will work well for you, wearing quite close to the skin and hopefully even leaving a little room for a base layer etc."
