Hey guys, new to the forum and after a bit of help/advice if possible.

After tossing up between the Assos T FI.Uno_S5 and the T.607_S5 bibshort, I've decided to go with the T.607 for some added insulation over winter.

Can someone who owns a pair please help me with sizing?

I'm 186cm (6'1") / 75kg, and wear a Size LARGE in the Assos Uno.

From what I've read, the T.607 runs small and are a tighter fit, so some recommend to go a size up.

What have others done?

I'm unable to try these on in person and will be buying online, so I don't want to have to mess around with returns if possible.

Any help/info is greatly appreciated!

Cheers,
Scott

  • I wear the same size in both the Assos T FI.Uno_S5 and the T.607_S5 had not heard about sizing up. If anything the T.607_S5 seems more roomy compared to the Uno's - which makes sense as believe it is based on the Mille's. Personally I wouldn't size up. For others references 6'2" / 82kg.

    I'd echo that - can't tell any difference between my uno's and the 607's (I've got the 3/4). Size L for me at 5'10 and (should be, but not currently) 75kg.

    6'1' , ~78kg and XL 607 is good fit (same as the XL Mille).

    Thanks for the helpful responses guys. I think I'll have a crack at an XL and cross my fingers.

    I'm going to couple these with a pair of the Assos Leg Warmers for winter. From what I've read, it's a good flexible combo!

    Has anyone ordered from Evans Cycles website? They only list 3 sizes on their site for the Leg Warmers (S, M, L), whereas Assos only uses Size: 0, I, II for these, with I equivalent to a M-L? :?

    Thanks again

    I have the mille as well, the T.607 has the same sizing, great bibshort for colder days, noticeably warmer than the standard short.
