Team kit order time. Should I try to squeeze into a L skinsuit, or order an XL like I do in most other things... think I'm going L, gotta show off the guns

I do XL in most things, but during Castelli fit night I was surpised to find that L was more comfortable. Def going L in the skinsuit.

What's weird is that in some of the Castelli jerseys a large in fine(aero race), in some of the others that aren't as stretchy(team fit) I can't even get my arms through them. I have a large San Remo and it still fits so I think a large skinsuit will be good to go. I made the mistake of ordering a pair of medium bibs last time, they are like a dirty white after they get stretched on to my legs lol

always buy the smallest size you can fit into. I screwed this up too many times buying S jerseys and feeling like I was wearing a parachute.

I like Castelli sizing. The Small fits like I expect it to. Not like Hincapie (a.k.a. Portly Century Rider Sizing), where a Small fits me like I would expect a Large to. What the F am I supposed to wear from a brand like that?? XXS?

I'm similar (6'3" 190) and the Castelli guy recommended dropping down one size for the jacket or vest. So, large jersey would be a medium vest for me. Seems a bit small in theory and will swing by our shop to confirm.

you guys realize the same kit mfgrs often have a number of different "fits" correct? saying "size small in castelli was too big for me" is useless info unless you're specifying the line it's coming from.

I wear large bibs, medium jersey, small vest. Wind Jacket I have to do medium for sleeve length, otherwise it's comical.

I want to buy whatever brand of bibs you and Matt wear. For 15 hours a week in the saddle, they must be pretty good and way better than what I have.
