The guy at the bike store said i may need a small...I tried a pair on and I could get them on but they are REAL tight...I know they are supposed to be nice and snug but I think a small is too small...would a guy my size wear a small ??
When I got a pair, I was between size XL and XXL, the shop recommended the smaller size. They were tight at first, but as I rode more and more, they fit better and better. They weren't so tight as to cause problems, just a bit uncomfortable. I didn't notice them when riding, so I guess that means I suffering enough.
