Bump. Old thread.
I'm a 31" waist, 5'8" and 143 pounds. Wear a medium in *most* bibs and shorts, such as Pearl Izumis, which fit me really well in medium.
Ordered some Nalini bibs in size 5, as those are 30-32. They were HUGE on me. Waist, thighs, length from legs to shoulders...
Wondering if I should go to size 4 or down to size 3. Anyone have any experience with this? Looking at some "pro team" bibs...don't know if these Nalinis differ from sizing of the non-pro Nalinis. Ordering online so don't want to get the wrong size for a second time. I'm leaning towards a 3, as the 5's were really, really big. Just a bit reluctant as those waist sizes are far below my 31" at 26-28. Though...lycra does stretch
Thanks!
