I ordered a pair in Medium, because I have a pair of bibshorts from Castelli in Medium with the same Pad... it turns out the medium bibtights are meant for someone much skinnier... my testies were so squashed that I could see them individually... so I returned them yesterday first class and asked for a large... dispatched today, pretty impressive customer service!

Now, let's hope I am not an inbetweener, when it comes to sizes :)

    I've got two pairs of Sorpasso tights in size large. The older pair are falling to bits but are a comfortable fit. The newer pair seem to be a completely different size with with shorter legs and straps and a much tighter fit. Overall they're about 3 inches shorter. I can just about get into them, but just shows that the sizing can be inconsistent within the same product range. I suspect the second pair are mislabelled Ms instead of Ls.

    Not sure if this is an issue across the Castelli range. I've always been a large in them (Sorpassos, old style Alpha Jersey) but recently tried on a few things from the current range (Alpha ROS jersey, jacket, Perfetto long sleeved) that seemed to fit much smaller.
