Alé Clothing - sizing / fit

[JoeyB]

Hi All,

Does anyone have experience with Alé clothing and the sizing? How does it compare for example to Castelli sizing which is known to be more of a 'race fit'?


Cheers

If it’s anything like the women’s sizing, minuscule!
guess you can only check the size guide or buy and try!

Descriptions like.. Body-Mapping fit provides a tight, form-fitting silhouette….does suggest a race fit
The products have a size guide. Jersey XL = 41.5” !

Yes very tight, come up similar if not tighter than castelli, my mate bought bibs and a jersey, when he wearing it:

• you can tell his religion
• his voice goes up two octaves
• insert appropriate quip here

Haha very good.

I'll start with equivalent Castelli sizes and go from there!

Is it french for

I ordered bib shorts and jersey, 2XL bibs were too small, 3XL much better. I'd say Alé are a size smaller than Castelli for reference
