Before I hit the buy it now button, is their own sizing chart bang on the money ? Normally a large, hence 34ish waste 42inch chest etc. I`m not exactly needing a fish supper or two nor am I hogging the buffet table :lol: However large by their accounts looks like a medium in other brands. So moving upto an XL, would probably be a good fit ?

    All of my other Bib shorts are size large but I am borderline medium now due to weight loss.
    I went for medium Etxeondo which are spot on.

    I'm a size small and found that my Exteondo bibs were bang on in terms of their sizing chart. I have 28' waist, a 36' chest and I'm 5''4' in height.

    I am 6 2 13 1/2 stone 34 waist 40 chest....... Ordered the new press bibs in XL and they are spot on.

    Hope that helps

    Ok ordered the XL, being similar height but more rotund :) If they are any good I will try and order another pair as it would appear they are good price? Seem to be £99 everywhere else !!

    Yep the XL fits like a glove, very snug on me which I think is how they are meant to be. Compared to my Lusso shorts which in a size L are a nice fit but more relaxed. These are defo tighter and more fitting, like them alot and the pad feels very comfy. Shall try them on the bike tomorrow. Might keep an eye out for more shorts like these, be pushing it buying another pair this month though :p
