So now moving into the darker colder months i'm in need of something waterproof for my cycling.
Now anything remotely italian tends to come up about 10 sizes too small compared to what you would normally need so I would need a 13XL lol.
Does any of the more 'normal' brands like altura, endura etc tend to come up cut quite generous/realistic?
Something like this... http://www.wiggle.co.uk/p/cycle/7/Altur ... 360044955/ ... from Altura claim a XXXL size of 48-50'' which would be about right in theory but is that an actual 48-50 or more of a skin tight beyond bellief at those sizes and about right i you are a 46-47''?
Your help would be much appreciated. [/url]

Tricky.
I recently tried on an Altura crosslite and an Altura reflex in a shop. The reflex is supposed to be athletic cut, and I needed the XL. The crosslite is more relaxed, but I didn't want it too flappy so took an L. the size guides suggest I should be L/ XL cusp
I bought a Nevis in a sale a few years ago, got an XXl as no XL available, and really is too big.
So what am I concluding? I think I'm saying that you should be Ok following their size guide.
I tried an Endura convert on too, and needed XL in that.0 -

I have a gore phantom 2 in XL which fites perfectly and I am a 46 chest, so next size up should be OK
It is semi-stretchy as well which helps0
