Going to order some Giordana Bibshorts this evening. Not sure which ones yet
(Mrs will say Solids, I'll say Tenax, split the difference, gonna be Silverlines!!)

Problem on the size. I'm 5'10'', 13st 7lbs, 34 waist. Look to be XL or XXL??

Seems they come up on the small size (an Italian size thing!!!). Any advice appreciated.

    A smidge under 6ft, 34in waist, have the XL tenax. Fit well apart from the leg grippers are somewhat looser than normal (or I have puny thighs ofc, but I've never noticed it before on other shorts).
  • I have just bought a pair of their 'Body Clone' range from Parkers, currently 33% off
    at £49.99. An excellent buy, I am 6'4" & 34" waist and they are 2XL.

    I also have a pair of Giordana Tenax bib's from Parker International.

    Im 6ft and 34" waist and take XL. They are a great fit and I find them more comfortable than my Assos bibs!

    Also a thumbs up for Parker International. Good service and quick delivery - definately worth looking at for anything to do with bikes. :D

    I am 6' 1" with a 32" waist. I have the M size. Okay when standing upright the straps are a bit tight over the shoulders but when in riding position they are so comfortable. Why i ever wore trouser or Lycra shorts before I will never know.
