I am thinking about buying a pair of Endura theromlite ¾ knickers for the colder weather
I need some advice about sizing
I am about 6 foot 2” and a 37” waist and the Endura website says that that is Large
Evan cycles say that it is XL
I usually take an XL in other shorts that I have
Does anyone out there have some Endura shorts – how do they fit (compared to Endura size guide)

Thanks for your help.

    If it helps I am 6ft 2.5in, waist 33 and the jacket I recently got from them is a size small!!! The medium was big on me, I am very slim and 11st but still the guides said I should be around a large so I would maybe say that Endura comes up a touch big?
    Might just be me, hope that helps a little.

    I have a pair of Endura tights. I am 6 foot with 34 inch waist.

    The tights are large and fit fine, althoguh I suspect I could squeeze into mediums too.

    I have a medium short sleeved jersey, which is a great race fit.

    I have just ordered some team bibshorts from Endura and have plumped for medium.

    I agree with the poster who says that Endura typically are big sizes (i.e. more realistic than the likes of Santini et al)

    Well I have an Endura MT500 top (which I think is ace by the way). I usually take large or XL in non cycling clothing. In an Endura L I couldn't breath, XL just fitted,and XXL is a nice fit - an especially nice fit as it was a fiver cheaper than the XL one... :D

    I like the quality of the material that Endura use for their bike kit, but I bought three pairs of medium sized lycra shorts recently and they were all different waist sizes. The labels were all marked "M" and were all from the same batch. Two jerseys that I bought earlier in the year were both marked "S" and were big enough for a guy with a 42" chest. Definitely not for a skinny ol' runt like me!

    And that now goes for all of their kit. I only buy it from a shop, and only after I've tried the item on. Other manufacturers don't seem to suffer too much from poor sizing, but Endura are terrible.

    Just to had to the mix.

    I'm 5'10" and 13st with a 36" waist. I usually buy XL Endura bib shorts and have 3/4 knickers in the same size. I find them just right

    Had some Endura shorts which were xl when I bought my bike 5 weeks ago and they are quite tight around the bottom of the legs, they appear to fit ok apart from that.

    Have just bought some long winter Endura in xl and think that I am wearing a size too big, as they aren't as tight as expected.

    My Endura jacket is xl and my Specialized jumper is xl and both fit well.

    I am 6f and 35 waste, though xl appears to be my fit, to get two products from the same manufacturer where one is tight and the other a bit on the slack side is strange.

    Think I will have to try everything on before purchase in future.
