Bought some new Santini bib shorts and wore them for the first time today but im unsure if they are to small for me, so how should bibshorts fit you? whenever i took them off you could see where the bib straps had left an imprint at the top of my shoulders, is this the norm? :roll:

Sound a bit too small to me. I size mine on my height and nothing else and they all seem to fit really well. I have not had any marks on my shoulders before. I'm sure an expert will be along shortly............2012 Scott Foil 10 (Shimano dura ace) - in progress

I'd say a size up would probably be better for you, as long as this doesn't leave them loose elsewhere.Cycling weakly0

The next size up is for the same height but a heavier rider

I also have imprints - I'm not sure how you can't have any. I guess I should post a photo to show what I mean.0

Bib short straps shouldn't dig into your shoulders, they should be comfortable without being restrictive.
Of course the prendas shorts are not going to be as good as Assos or PI, or Castelli for that matter, there is a quality difference in the insert and quality of fit here. As well as price of course.0
