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 [url= https://www.rapha.cc/gb/en/shop/core-bib-shorts/product/COB01 ]Rapha core bibs[/url]. 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 [url= https://www.rapha.cc/gb/en/shop/core-bundle/product/BUN-207 ]£100 with a core jersey too[/url]).
Apparently the pad is used in these [url= http://www.wiggle.co.uk/dhb-asv-race-bib-shorts-black-edition/?lang=en&curr=GBP&dest=1&sku=5360718512&kpid=5360718512&utm_source=google&utm_term&utm_campaign=UK_PLA_Clothing&utm_medium=base&utm_content=mkwid%7cssuzmT66m_dc%7cpcrid%7c67090791662%7cpkw%7c%7cpmt%7c%7cprd%7c5360718512uk ]DHB shorts[/url] too.

Agree with that
