Castelli speedsuit sizing

CptKernow

Just received a medium sized Castelli Sanremo speedsuit. Wondered if anyone else had one of these and could advise on the fit.

I'm around 5'10" and ~65Kg. I've had Castelli shorts in large (although not 100% this was right size) and find their tops in med are just right.

So, tried on the speedsuit and shorts felt good but the top seems to pull a lot around the shoulders and around the front / top of zip area. This is when I'm standing up. It also feels like the zip wants to ping open a bit.
I haven't tried on the bike as I don't want to mess the suit up before sending it back.

Now, this may be OK. I suppose as their are no bib straps the pull has got to go somewhere around there. But just wondered how tight it was supposed to feel around the shoulders - and how much stretch there should be in the jersey?

Thanks.

When in the TT position it will be fine.

I have 2 San Remo. 1 med 1 small. I am 5'6" and the small is tight when stood up but as soon as I am on the bike it stretches in the right places to be comfortable. The medium feels ok all the time but I can see it is a bit loose at the waist. Med is probably right for you.

The cut is designed to be when your in the position on the bike. You'll be fine.

Same mistake people make when buying 1 piece leathers for motorcycle racing. They're designed for riding and not strolling around the paddock posing.

I'm the same size and weight as you and have been in a medium suit all year. It's tight stood up but fits perfectly on the bike

Thanks for the help. Will commit to giving it a spin on the bike.

I suppose worst case I can always stick it on eBay for almost what I paid...
