great shorts, be careful about sizing

I'll second the last reviewer's comments about the sizing. I'm used to wearing a medium in bib shorts, in several different brands, and I am built like Andy Hampsten, at 6'2" 160#. I ordered the Wicked bib shorts in a medium and thought they were super comfy, with excellent chamois and a lighter feeling fabric. But after riding in them about five times, the stitching along one of the hips started to pop (birthing hips), as well as the stitch between the mesh bib fabric and the short itself(I'm tall). I returned the bib shorts and got a large, and they've been fine so far.

So yeah, great bibs, but be sure to check the sizing chart for castelli stuff. The waist measurements are about two inches smaller per size between Castelli and Pearl Izumi.
