...I think I'm going to give up on buying any Endura gear.
I've two older Endura tops, both Large.
I've Pearl Izumi, Alpkit and Madison cycle tops, all large.
I've numerous outdoor baselayers, all large.
The Endura size chart says Medium. I ignore it and buy, you've guessed it, Large.
The Large arrives, therefore why the ¢€°¥π`÷|✓ is it sized more like a medium?
(Both tops pictured are from the road/not quite full athlete range, albeit a few years apart. Other Endura top is baggy MTB top.).
This follows last winters purchase of bib tights - Endura suggested XL, and they are too big, yet all my other bibs and tights are XL.
Mrs_oab also has two pairs of shorts - one labeled 8 and one 10, both the same model, which size up identically...!
I agree
I love my humvee jerseys with the rear pockets, have about 5 of them.. Bought a new one in medium last week and its miles smaller than the older ones - more road fit!
I feel like Endura are much better at designing clever looking kit than actually stitching it together.
They're the Crank Brothers of clothing.
Every piece of Endura clothing I've ever bought (and that's a fair bit) has been a medium and they all fit fine.

Lucky you.
My small riding top is fine. Gilet also fine. Bought a base layer in small despite them saying I needed extra small - nearly had to be cut out of the thing!
My Endura bibs keep me very warm where it matters.
Basically because they force my balls back inside me.
Can I say that here? 🤔

Only of I can tell you thier winter bibs I've got have an extra element sewn in the very front of the pad. It's a circle, a couple of cm across, stitched all round.
The nylon stitching rubs right on my manhood.
I particularly like that in their Humvee shorts I’m a large outer and extra-large inner (due to my thighs - no s****ing at the back).
I have loads of Endura kit. Yes, some ranges sizing is off, I am a medium in some shorts, large in others. Pretty simple to try on if buying from LBS or if online likes of wiggle and free returns.
My kit is a mixture of Endura, Castelli and Rapha and I find them all of a similar quality. I may be M in Endura, L in Rapha and XL in Castelli, but so what 🤪

This is all good to know. The last few years I've struggled to find clothes small enough to fit. 5ft5 and petite.

Quite the insult, that!!!! 🤣🤣🤣

how blessed are you, bet you have a magic ipad as well 😉
Not helpful for you, sorry, but all the endura clothing I’ve bought has been spot on in sizing / quality and much better than any of the other brands I’ve tried to date, definitely one of my favourite brands. Mainly trousers / shorts (medium) but their hoodie is brilliant too (large)! 🙂
I'd have to go and check my endura sizes, but I have a Madison medium and a stolen goat XL and the stolen goat is the neater fit
I like endura kit but the sizing can be way off especially shorts and trousers! All the other brands I buy seem to be consistent in size and as expected when I buy a large for example.
Yes to the OP! Endura is a gamble.
I do like my Endura gear despite the fact they think I am a fat bastard and make me buy XL to fit when all other clothing manufacturers I use feel I am only a portly Large.
