Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Rapha Core Winter Bib Sizing

I'm debating size Small vs Medium. I have the Rapha core short bibs in medium and I think size small would be too tight. I'm 5'9" 155lbs with a 31 waist.

The size chart for the Winter (long) and Summer (shorts) are the same. Small is a 30.5 Waist and Medium is a 33.

Should I just stick with Medium?

I wear the same size in both shorts and tights.

I am 5'5" and 138lbs-145lbs depending on the season and I take a XS in both the Core bib shorts and winter bibs. For me the XS winter bibs are the perfect length since I am short and the Core range has just right amount of stretch

If you take a medium in the core bib shorts I'd assume the same for the winter ones unless you have shorter legs like me
