Looking at some new bib shorts for on the road and looking at Castelli Evoluzione 2. Does anyone know how the sizing come up on Castelli stuff?

tiny, probably 2 up from your normal clothing size

I thought they may come up small but not that small 😯

At least 2 sizes, try before you buy really

Add in bizarre too. I’m a small in Castelli jerseys, but can’t even get the shoulder straps on in their bibs. Mediums are tight too, large makes for baggy legs!

😀 I’d buy 2 sizes from a free-returns retailer and see how you go (mind, “2 up” is from your normal clothing zize rather than normal bibshort size if you’ve ever had some before – maybe one up on that depending on what brand you had. Italian stuff is small)

whay size are you ?

I’m just over 6ft, 80kg and XXL – couldn’t have worn the XL

Castelli stuff fits like they intended. It just happens that most of us are not stick thin pros. I’m a large in every other manufacturer and xl in castelli. I have tried some stuff in large and it fits but its race fit and tighter than I like.

If it helps, 5″10 and a bit, 29″ waist, 67kg. I wear medium castelli bibs, small jersey.

The only bibshorts I have are some DHB and Specialized and they are in Large. Tempted now to look at another brand.

they are great IMO and it doesn’t matter what the ticket says – I only have 1 pair of theirs (endurance x2) but I’ll buy more this winter, when they’re cheaper

My DHB ones are XL (so one size down) but all are from a few years back so may not be same sizing as current ones

Castelli is pretty true to the size chart with the exception that they are perhaps a bit short.

If you are average height for UK or tall you’ll want to go + 1 size on shorts/tights.
If you are a stocky build also +1 size on tops.

For reference i’m 5’9, 30.5″w, 60kg and i’m a medium in their shorts/tights and a small in tops.

Thanks all.

I’ve always found this to be the case, and i really like their fit. I’m 6’1, 79kg, 39″ chest, 33″ waist and i’m a medium for Castelli across the board.

Small normally. 30 waist. I’m a in Medium Castelli

I’m 6ft 70kg and circa 37″ chest 30″ waist.

I wear medium jerseys and large bibs.

Both my castelli bibs are “velocissimo’s” however I’ve recently discovered Rapha core bibs. They’re a much better fit and more comfortable too with leg grippers that stick in place.

When on offer you can pick them up for £75 a pair (or £100 with a core jersey too).

Apparently the pad is used in these DHB shorts too.

Agree with that
