Castelli Sanremo 4.0 speedsuit sizing?

I've heard that you should size up for this..

I'm usually an S in Castelli tops, although I'm an M in the climber's jersey. I'm an M in Assos bibs, although could wear an S.

I'm thinking M for the speedsuit? Obviously the whole point of it is to be tight though, so I'm worried about it not being.

    I’m a size bigger than you- normally M, got an L in the SanRemo. Fits a treat- any tighter it’d be spray on!

    Great, thanks - sounds as if M is my size if I can sqeeze into it..

    An S in Castelli tops? Wow...

    At 66 kg I struggle to fit in an M

    Best advice for these is to size for the shorts, not the top.
    I have two, both the winter and summer one and I don't think they size any smaller than other Castelli clothes (and certainly not as tight as my Aero jersey) so go with your normal size as a start.

    Well, I'm 63-64kg and squeeze into an S for the gabba, perfetto etc. Definitely an M in the climber's jersey, and that's a tight fit.. Castelli seem really inconsistent across the range.

    Ah well, I've an M on order (with the option to swap if it doesn't fit) - let's see.

    Got my medium today and it's pretty much a perfect fit.
