How accurate is their size chart? Going by the chart I would need XXL but the XXXL seems more like it would fit.
The size chart is spot on to me. For jerseys, probably focus on the weight range if you have a gut, and on the chest measurement if you're thin. The fit guide tells you how each will feel within that size: relaxed will be loose, standard will have some room but not enough to flap around excessively, slim will be tight and not flap around, elite will be skin tight. I made the mistake of ordering a standard fit one size down to make it feel like a slim fit, but that turned out to be too short and rather tight in the gut while still loose in the arms. So probably best to just find a jersey in the fit you prefer. Bibs really only have one fit, although they do seem to have different inseams if that's a big concern for you.

That's apparently their second best chamois, at a price to compete with the off brand companies. I just couldn't bring myself to risk people striking up a conversation about an album I just couldn't grow to like.
