I'm trying them on now, and I'm a little perplexed. According to the size chart these are right, but they seem much looser than other bibs I've worn. I wear a 2xl in Performance stuff, except their oversized Century Gel, in which I take a 1x. My Pearl shorts are a 2xl. Perhaps I've been wearing too small bibs for my entire riding career. I'm contacting Dan of Luv2Pedal about this.
The strap length seems right, however, the bib is 'cut' very high. If I need to take a "natural break", I'm not going to be able to pull down the front far enough to urinate.
