hi - ive had assos a few years ago & looking at buying the new fi mille S5 - just wondering if anyone else had issues with size - the assos chart says i would be a medium im 5ft 9 33inch waist - is a medium realistic as with my older assos shorts i found a XL to be more like a medium ?

    Hi i got Mille Shorts normally a large but XL in Assos so size up should do you ...
  • I made the mistake of getting a medium instead of large. My cycling performance plunged (esp climbing) and I was at a loss to explain it for months. It eventually twigged that maybe, just maybe, the shorts are placing more pressure on my thighs than they should. So got myself a large pair, out I went...and was flying again!

    I'm 5ft 10" with a 34" waist and I take a Large, Assos work on height and not waist so with your height I'd be tempted to go and try a pair on but keep your shreddies on in your LBS and see which are more comfortable.
  • Be careful, I've got the large. 35" waist and 5ft 9. Great fit but the leg grippers are ever so slightly loose.
