Good to know I am not the only one with challenges and opportunities regarding Castelli sizing.
Have a couple of shorts in large. All is good with them. Bought more in large and they look like they were made for smurfs. Had to return and get 2XL this time and still tighter than the original large.
Thought they sent boys size not adult size.
Caught me by surprise.
No more Castelli for me.
Kind of like a box of chocolates, you never know what your gonna get.

Bought some McKenzie shorts and large is fine.
