Has anyone bought any bike clothing from FDX Sport?

If so, how do they size up?

It’s surprisingly good. I have bought a fair bit of their kit over time because of the prices, and it has all lasted well and been quite comfortable.

As for the sizing, I would say to buy what you think you need, as opposed to sizing up or down. It’s not small like name-brand Italian stuff.

See, I'd say size up. Bought some winter bib tights off them in Med. Bit snug on the legs and lower half but fitted okay. However, the straps/braces whatever they're called seemed very short and top half was tight getting them over the shoulders.

I went with Large and still fit nice on the lower half and much more comfortable on the top half.

Bloke at work bought some and he had to go XL to get the top half length. He's about 6' and thin as a rake. Bottom half feels a touch baggy but he's happy enough.

Overall good decent and cheap kit. But ime sizing might be a bit out

Fair enough. I don't know what body-type you have, @carlos, but I think I am about as average as they come, so that may have a bearing.

That's a fair point. I'm 32" waist, 30 inside leg, 39" chest and 5'9" so not a porker, lanky git or a midget. Could be there just isn't the same give/stretch in the over shoulder straps as other brands.

One think I will say about FDX was that the exchange was super quick, no quibble and dead straight forward.
