It's coming up to xmas now and the wife has been asking what i would like for crimbo, I've asked for the Castelli cervelo test team strip, but am a little confused with the sizing?

I have some Giordana and Northwave kit so familiar with the italian sizing, in these brands i take a size 5 or XL, do the Castelli products run the same as these aforementioned brands or do they run bigger/smaller?

cheers all :D

    Not sure about the shorts but I recently bought a Castelli long sleeved top and needed a large whereas I'm a medium in Assos, Giordana, Santini, and almost everything else.

    Hey guys,
    I am planning to buy a castelli top and think I am an XXL but would like to know how the sleeves are from shoulder seam to cuff - can anyone look into one of their tops for me?
    thanks a lot,
    Gabriel

    My Castelli bib-shorts, bought in Cesenatico, size M and a bit tight, would be a size S (and still a bit tight) anywhere north of the Alps.
