Le Col Sizing

bianchi_dave

Anyone know how the Le Col bibshorts are for sizing - specifically the Sport ones when compared to Castelli? I'm always a large in Castelli bibshorts/tights.
I bought a Le Col jersey last year going by their size guide but it was way too small (half way up my back and could barely reach the pockets!).
Cheers

You cant trust castelli as a reference. I was looking for jersey, 2 same size of sky team, but the one was bigger than the next size of the other.

I think with Castelli you really need to check the cut (even in same style sometimes). Their Rosso Corsa or race cut garments are considerably tighter. I've found it with shorts/tights also, albeit the large still fits (just) - they can be a bit tight on the shoulders off the bike but once on the bike they are fine, as they're designed to be.

Anyone have Le Col shorts and can advise on how they find sizing?

They are the smallest bit looser than dhb Aeron shorts.Dont have castelli bibs to compare them to.

Thanks Vinny. A trawl through all the reviews on their site suggests the size guide is reasonably accurate. I'm 5ft10 and about 73kg so appears medium would be ok for me.
