Assos bib sizing
Ok gane need a bit of help here. I admit it...I am a clydesdale...that said I am looking at the Assos bibs and wondering about the size. All of their sizing is based on height other than the TIR size which says it is for larger 6'4"-6'5"+ but wider. Well I am 5'10" so the XLG and TIR would leave a lot of slack in the straps I would think....but I am worried that since I am a bit wider than most cyclists buying based on my height might be far too small in the waist.
In PI bibs an XL fits great to even a bit loose. Performance bibs the XL fits pretty good. Santini the XXL (again bibs) is a bit tight in the legs but fine in the waist. I am thinking XL in Assos even though it is for a little taler rider. Thoughts. 5'10" with a 38" waist.
Thanks
Oh add to that this chart from Competitive Cyclist
Edit to fix the Santini size

I think Assos bibs are a bit more snug than other brands. Mine seem to be a bit tighter than my Giordana and Decathlon bibs which are, theoretically, the same size.

botto - LOL back in that other thread...actaully ElementONE was the jacket I was thinking of. Will that be too similar to the Gator I got? Sounds like maybe I should go with the IntermediateEVO for the jacket...at least I know my size in the jackets.

the intermediate really is the way to go. but i've probably made my feeling clear by now.
