    Thanks for that. Duly ordered
    And arrived today. Ordered a large and its definitely on the slimmer side of large. OK for me but if you're more than 78kg @ 6', you might want to go XL

    Got mine too. I knew what expect with regards to the sizing so my large is just about perfect.

    I ordered one of the light blue long sleeves in XL which turned out to be too big. Anyone interested before I send it back to Planet X for a refund? Would prefer meeting in central/south east London for collection in person to avoid the hassle of posting.

    I might be interested. I'm in SE London and am about 6'3" and 80kg. Do you think it would fit?

    Ordered those, I suspect the "slight musty-smell" will wash out and they'll be ace next winter. Cheers.

    There is a sizing guide, but it is for height rather than waist - I don't know off hand what my inside leg / back length are in cm's so I just guessed large. Its lycra, it'll be stretchy...

    Oh, and I imagine they'll be more than "a bit musty" aftertheir first proper wear I imagine, so I have no issue with that!

    Front length? Back length? Hip to hip? Who sizes things like that??

    Inside leg is fair enough but it ranges from 24.2 to 27.3 inches? Eh?

    I'm 6' tall with a 30" waist, any ideas?

    I've just dug out the tape measure, and what i'm measuring bears no relation to the sizing guide :?
    I'm 6' 1" with a 34" waist

    I'm kinda thinking L?

    Ooh, ordered two of the (short sleeve) jerseys. One in each colour.

    Would have got a Nonna's one as well, but they're out of my size.

    I wonder whether the measurements are for the unstretched garment (bearing in mind that tights stretch quite a bit when you put them on. If that's right, the best way to work out the sizing is to measure one of your existing pairs, if you already have some.

    NB: I haven't actually tried this, I just took a punt and ordered two XXL pairs, because my current XL (different brand) are a bit on the small side...

    Mine arrived today.
    L fits like a glove.
    Now, I have a cold at the mo, but my housemate can't detect any musty odour.
    Still, went straight into the washer as a precaution.

    I asked Planet X which size to go for and they said large... then I looked at the website and saw the medium were out of stock so treated the recommendation with a bit of scepticism and decided not to bother.

    Mine were hidden under the doormat when I got back from a weekend away. I'm 6' 3" with a 33" waist and a 42" chest and went for large. They're a good enough fit for me, slim fitting but quite tight when zipping up over the chest.

    No musty smell at all with mine. Worth noting that they're unpadded, though.

    Just received my Planet-x / On-one SS Jerseys today. Fit brilliantly and no problem with them still being damp / marked at all.

    I'm 5'10", slim-ish and went for a medium.

    Got my Planet X shirt / tights over the weekend.

    I'm 6'2", 33 leg, 33 inch waist, 39" chest (oh to be a regular size!)

    Shirt is L, pretty good fit (M may have worked) - arms seem slightlt loose and have 70's style football shirt style capped sleeves which is a bit odd, but great for £10 and no musty smell.

    Tights are also L, seem like a great fit. I too was surprised by the lack of pad, but probably makes sense as I can then just stick them over various pairs of shorts and cut down on the washing a bit. Glad I kept the shorts I ripped the buttock out of the other week now - will be fine under the tights!

    Got mine too. No mustyness at all, but the jersey definitely felt a bit moist or something, but didn't smell at all - I probably wouldn't have noticed if I wasn't looking for faults...
