Need Help With Voler Sizing...Please!
 

Well it's time to put in clothing orders for next season's team clothing. Our stuff is made by Voler, and I have very little experierence with there stuff. I'm tall and skinny (6'2" and 165 lbs), I normally wear medium bibs in PI and Specialized and usually large jerseys (except for euro brands like Castelli etc., I need XL). Can any of you guys tell me if the medium bibs will be long enough and if a large jersey will end up fitting like a skin suit. Thanks... :)

I used them for stuff before, they shuold be able to send you sizing samples

I'm not ordering for the team, just myself. I've asked the person who does the team orders, but thought I may get more help on what sizes to order from here.

Hi.
Well I'm 5.9 average build. I have medium jersey, that fits me quite snugly. Although it's a bit tight around the throat. I also have Medium bibs. They stop 3-5 inches before the knee.

Try this link. It's their sizing chart.

Or, you could use http://www.voler.com and look for the sizing tab under the products tab.

Our club gear is voler I am 5'10" and 185 lbs.

here are a couple of links to pics

My shorts and both jerseys (shortsleeve and sleeveless) are all mediums
As you will see i like to wear them snug

I love their bib shorts, they are sized a bit smaller than Nashbar stuff but their jerseys seem much smaller. Expect a skin tight fit if you buy a jersey based on their guidelines.

I'm usually a PI Medium short/bid, and XL jersey. Most all my jerseys (other brands) are XL or XXL, with one XXXL. I can't seem to get a good fit with Voler jerseys. The XL's are more snug then I like and the XXL's are really big. Shorts and bibs are not a problem, mediums fit like mediums.

Im about the same size as you,, oc roadie and was looking at buying some voler bibs, could you tell me what size you ended up getting and how it fit?

I'm 6'1" and 180 and wear XL Voler bibs. You'll need the length, more than likely.

If you are skinny and have no ass, the large will barely fit you. I'm pretty big all the way around and the large bibs are a bit snug.

Their sizing chart is good if you are built like a pro. If you are built like most humans, go up one size.

I wear large PI bibs, fwiw.

I wear the same size Voler as specialized. I have some L voler jerseys and they fit me semi tight, but Im 6'3 and 195

i'm 5'7" and 189 pounds, and i wear their jerseys in large and bibs in medium, and both fit perfect. i tried the bib in a large, and the bottom of the legs were on the loose side, which is why i went with the medium. the straps are pretty roomy on the medium, at least for me they are, and i'm happy with them...

i've also been told they have 5 cuts, so just be aware of which one you order. i have the euro fit, which is supposed to actually fit a size small, but i personally think they fit almost as big as pearl izumi's...

I'm 6'4" @ 178, and just got a new Voler skinsuit in L. If I was your size, I'd have gone for M -- this L is not too tight, but I can't go any smaller at my weight.

I am 5'11 and 185lbs, I went with a medium and its right on the edge. very tight. granted I have a a lot of upper body muscle, I am not built like most bikes peeps.

I though I would bump this and get some suggestions. I'm going to get some hammer stuff and i'm right in the middle of all the sizes, Now Hammer says to just size up... but how loose fitting is that going to be? I'm 5'11" 170lbs, 40" chest and waist is 36. Maybe large bibs and a med jersey?

I am 6" 167lbs, 33" waist, I have 2 pairs of Voler bibs (one is original, another is Hammer) both size Medium, great fit.
I wear Castelli bib -L, PI-M, Nalini -L (4), Performance-M.
Giordana is out for me because all the Giordana bibs I tried are too short (straps).
Hope it helps.

I sure think it does, check your PM's please.

I'm pretty close to your size and the Medium bibs fit me great. I don't know about the jersey since I don't have them.

I'm 5'10" ish and 160.

edit... you are talking the Voler bibs? Those are the ones I have.

I'd recommend you look at the reviews at Voler's site, since some discuss the fit. Their sizing chart is accurate according to my experience. 6'1" ~ 190 = L in both jersey and bib. XL for Cannondale jerseys.

There's a coupon code still active if you're interested.

Yeah, the ones from Hammer... I'm in dire need of some other bike clothes.

I'm 6'2" 173ish and had the same question when I ordered my Voler Peloton bibs a few months ago. They reco'd L and they fit fine after many rides. I could stand for a bit more compression in legs, but I think you'll need the strap length of the Larges.

Nothing worse than a crotch-wedgie from too short bibs.

Holy Haley's Comet, Batman! This thread has been boomeranging every 2 - 3 years since 2005! :)

And unfortunately for lilybay, I don't have any feedback on the web site in question - sorry.

My fault. I just hit 88mph on a downhill.
