Hi all, just bought Castelli Meno cycling bib tights in size large. I'm 6"3, 32" waist and 70KG. Was this a wise choice? I just can't seem to get the length right and struggle to gain size around my torso.

You probably should have asked before bought them.
But I have no idea what "gaining size around my torso" means.
L size in Castelli fits me as does XL. I'm taller than you and with larger waist and 30kg heavier, lycra stretches.
You should have gone for M and maybe S would have done (tho I doubt it)

Ask? I've been asking other forums for the last 2 hours. I'm getting so many different answers I thought I'd ask a few more opinions from others that may have purchased Castelli in the past. I've purchased both medium and large in the past with other makes and it's just too small/ too short. My measurements don't seem to match what actually fits me. Thanks for your advice.

I suspect you'll need an XL in Castelli.

I have a couple of Castelli tops in large and I find them a bit short and I am only 5' 10" tall with 32 inch waist 40 inch chest.

By my previous researching that's what I've read. Just one of those things I suppose - trial and error.

And yet Castelli are a perfect fit (M) for me. Other makes I'm either a S or M.

OK, I am 6'4" and 15 and a bit stone and L and XL Castelli "fits" me. When I was 12 stone and not much more Castelii M and L "fitted".

What do you mean by L & XL "fits" you? Loosely/ tightly? 3 stone heaver than me and an inch taller? We're not opposite ends of the world are we.

Whatever, it's too late. Next time, ask before you buy.
