Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

craft clothing

Hi, I would like to know if someone knows the sizing about craft, I am 5'10'' and 167-170lbs. In nalini and santini I wear large and the fit is perfect, I am not sure between medium or large in craft, I guess craft is larger than Italian brand?? do you have some infos about that? just to compared with europeen brand

thanks

It's inline with Castelli/Giordana/et al but it really depends on the garment itself since they have different fits.

In my experience, Craft runs a full size larger than Santini. Craft medium should be fine for you if you are normally proportioned. If you have doubts, buy from a shop where you can try it on to see how both sizes fit you.

I am about the same height and weight as you, and Craft M is good for me. Large is way way too large. I wear their baselayer in size S.

I'm partial to Assos and Castelli, not for the snob aspect of the clothing but the quality. I have a few Craft base layers and they run a bit small for me at 6' even 190 lbs.
