I just received a "race cut" kit from a supplier as a sample for getting a clubs future business. I wear a large bib in Louis Garneau, Champion, PI etc but on the advice from the supplier they sent me an XL bib. Having never had race cut bibs (only jerseys which I do size up one) are they all this snug? I tried them on last night and it looks like I have a very prominent man ******** and I feel like I'll rip the bib or straps when I try to take a leak. I'm guessing I need to try a XXL but the thought of wearing something labeled like that makes me feel like a huge fat Fred. Are all race cut bibs that frigging snug?
2. Some shorts/bibs (Voler Black Label and likely anything else made with the stretchier Forza fabric) have a snugger compression fit.

Glad you asked this Floridamtb, I raised a similar question in this thread:

Sounds like we're about the same size as well. Turns out in Ale race-fit kit I'm an L jersey and XL bib too (and snugly fit as well).

I don't know the difference between race cut and any other bibs. Laundry dryer has currently on any given day Pactemo, Voler, JL Velo, Castelli, Pearl Izzzz..., Hincapee, Cuore and Assos - they all fit differently.
