Chris - I have small shorts, but then I am short (29x31). In terms of leg length I think they are quite long but fit nicely.

IIRC HlaB, Dayvo, Admin and yello have some so they might be able to offer personal experiences.

I haven't actually seen/worn mine yet! They're at my mother's waiting my arrival!

Sorry to be a pain!

Were the jackets available, if there were sufficient numbers?

 

[Will1985]

Anything is available that you see in the catalogue - sufficient numbers are only for armwarmers etc.

Any women out there with one of these jerseys? I've seen the sizing chart but it's always difficult to know how clothes cut for men will work.

MsM has Endura (British Human Power Club) kit. Both she and I are on the cusp between Small and Medium sizes, and always have difficulty in deciding which. The Road Jersey is fairly close-fitting, and suitable for racing in Small; however, MsM subsequently got a Medium too, which she prefers for general riding. I think that if you are, um, curvy (MsM isn't, particularly) you will want to err towards the next-size-up.



Anyway, I'm getting a Medium this time, because this jersey will be used for days out rather than for hard stuff.

I see! Thanks Nick. Is it rude to ask what size MsM usually takes in women's clothes? I'm a 14, so I'm just wondering if she's a lot smaller than me...

Not at all, but you are asking a man... she's a 10, I think.

Thanks Nick and Will - both of those are helpful. I will PM the loverly laydeez...

I have a small jersey, I'm size 10/12 and it fits perfectly. I tend to get away with mens cut clothes though as I am not too curvy. My friend who is the same size but with a tiny waist - not fair - can't wear it as it just doesn't look right!

Thanks Trio - you pre-empted my PM! I think I have enough to go on now. I shall go for a medium I think...

If you go to the list of forums, i.e. not actually in a forum, it appears as an announcement at the top of the page.

Sorry Don't see anything the form anywhere, I use Mozilla Firefox could that be the reason?

Keep sending them in - I've got stuff from 6 people so far.

I'm 5ft9 and a 30inch waist, I went with the Medium there maybe a little wide at the waist but not so you would notice but fit perfectly at the thighs and are great fit height wise too. IMO overall they're my best fitting shorts.

Sorry, only just seen this. I don't think I'll be much use as Chris is 6' and I'm a diddy 5' 7". I have, and regularly wear, the medium bibs. The legs are, as Will says, long by design and I personally like that. I have to say, I am genuinely impressed with the fit, and pad, of the bibs. They are very comfortable and they have become a favoured item.
