According to the chart I could go either way, but before pulling the trigger looking for first hand feedback.
Thanks!
Fortunately for you, I am 6'2", 218 lb and have a 38" waist and the XL Giordana Forma reds (a couple years old now) fit me just fine. I like plenty of compression and they're nice and snug on me. They're my favorite bibs.
I would probably go XL if I were you unless you want to squeeze into the next lower size, but since the next lower size is 32-36 it might be too much squeezing.
