I've based this on the fact that the majority of clothing for sale seems to be XL?

Just check out the diet threads, more popular than anything else IMO.

My endura stuff use to be XXL, but know I am down to L, but I think the sizes are a bit hit and miss, because in other brands I am a Medium. 🙂

A big plus for me, I stopped drinking lager, went right off the taste of it, now I have a much slimmer waistline! 😉

Depends on the clothes, I reckon.

Bought some Endura tights the other day in a medium - probably could have done with a small as there is plenty of room in the waist and they are a bit long.
My Specialized ones only just go over my waist and they are a large.

I've got a windproof top (Polaris) that's a large (might even be an extra large), but I think the Polaris waterproof I've got is small.....

Makes it nice & easy to buy online....

Maybe most used people used to be fat but have slimmed down and are flogging old gear?

My Specialized tights are a medium (the small being too short), and the ankles are designed for elephants, absolutely gaping, and with no stirrups they just walk up your leg and end up as 3/4, utter toss!

Mine are fine once on, it's just the drawstring round the waist is a bit tight as you pull them on (guess my thighs are probably bigger than my waist all the way round at a guess??).
Never had an issue with them riding up, and they are normally the ones I would pull out of the drawer before others. I think mine are the Rotation tights.....

I have noticed there is a lot of XL stuff in the classifieds, may even have brought it up on the forum. Usually Ton pops along to point out you can be wearing XL and not be a donut lover.

However cycling clothing is misleading size wise, especially Italian gear.

Mine are Therminal EX bibs, I actually just went and tried them on again to remind myself, they've got windproof panels, so they're not very stretchy, and below my calf muscles they're not even remotely tight, just flap around. Even if they had stirrups they're more like Ronhill tracksters than £100 tights! I forget why I didn't try them/thought they'd be ok! If anyone's a medium they're yours for £45, genuinely used once!

Swiss - your assumption would appear to be correct.

There does seem to be a lot of little fellas here for sure.

I feel like a giant perhaps I should by some green tights for my next ride.

Why is that then?

Weighed myself yesterday, and had a bit of a shock. Required a sit down to assess how I'd piled on so much weight.

Then i remembered, we have an 8 week old baby and, since I'm awake so much, I eat lods and don't exercise.

Diet has started. Time to lose 1.5 st.
