"Awesome shorts; *not* US sizing, though" - Review of CapoForma CSS M1 Bib Short - Men's

These have turned out to be great shorts for me. I initially ordered a size L, but discovered that although these are made by an American company, the sizing is definitely European. An XL fit me better, but not *quite* tight enough for me (I like just a bit more compression on my thighs). The only problem I found is this "in-between-ness" of the my body size versus the L - XL size jump (if that makes sense). I'm 6'1", 185lbs, and 44" (c), 33" (w). Despite all that, I like these shorts a lot. They don't bind or chafe anywhere, and once I get a lil' sweat going, the leg bands have just the right amount of "grippyness". As far as the material, construction and looks go, these are top notch for this price point. And they look so cool -- with or without the matching jersey. I've ridden them 4 or 5 times, each time for at least 80 miles, and they've performed just fine throughout. If they do this well in 6-8 more months, I'll be an extremely happy camper. We'll have to wait and see... :) ----- Ride to work. Work to live. Live to ride!
