I ordered an XL first, but it felt a little too snug. I ordered the XXL and it fits nicely. BTW, I'm usually a L with Pearl Izumi and Voler (and all other clothing). It's just this Italian sizing is unbelievable too small. At any rate, BackCountry is just awesome though. They never disappoint.

Reading the reviews on Castelli products first worried me. The sizing horror stories became my only concern and when first ordering from the brand years ago I ordered a medium and large in everything. I can honestly say, if you just FOLLOW THE SIZING CHART the product will work for you. And of course, don?t make your main measurement your chest when ordering bibSHORTS. I usually go off my waist or hips as that?s what matters most with this garment. And be honest with your tape measure. I see too many reviews on here of people that are 6 foot tall, and 180lb that order a small and expect it to fit...no. So long as you?re not oddly proportioned that is. Years ago, I ultimately decided mediums fit me better as I like a tighter fit (so that nothing rubs on 4-5 hour rides or races). Medium bibs have fit me throughout the Castelli range and these are no different. They are a compression garment designed to be like a second skin so there is no possibility of chafing. Keep that in mind. I am 5?10-11 and weigh 162lb, making me on the leaner side. The medium gives me a perfect race fit, not too tight but compressive enough that they don?t rub and the chamois stays in place. A large could work if you enjoy a little more freedom...but then again, that?s not what these bibshorts are designed for.
