DHB Bibtights

[GrahamG]

Aha, I see where I've gone wrong here! My ass is still in them, but it's in the 'Earnley' bib tights not the much revered 'Merston' ones. That'll learn us

Looked at these bibtights but none of the sizing seem to fit my 5' 7" tall frame with a 36" waist and a 38" chest. If anybody has bought these tights and are roughly the same dimentions as myself could they please let me know what size to order.
P.S. I am also a 29" inside leg.

Oh dear, sounds like you have a similar problem to me (5' 8", 36" waist, 42" chest). I have problems with bibs because something with a sensible waist is designed for someone about 6' tall, consequently the straps are usually too loose for a snug fit. My bibs are all Endura, size L. You might get away with a size M, but I'd buy them on a 'try and return' basis.

My best fitting shorts are Endura FS260 Pros and they fit beautifully. Happily there is a 3/4 version of them coming out in March next year, along with a Pro version of their 3/4 Thermolite bibs. They might be the answer to my prayers, and yours if you can hang on long enough.

I'm 5'8, 38" chest, 32" waist, but with thick (I'd like to say 100% muscly!) thighs... size L was the smallest size that fitted comfortably round the waist/thighs.

I bought 3/4 length dhb tights so that leg length was as short as possible - despite this the leg length is still ridiculously long. In the end I've taken to pulling the end of the tights down over my ankles, round my heels, and halfway along the soles of my feet. (If that makes sense as a description.) It's surprisingly comfortable and particularly good at keeping warmth in.

HTH,

Thanks Chuffy and Simon I will look into a pair of 3/4 lenth bibs and possibly some leg warmers to wear until the weather warms up again. It's either that or stop cycling and hibernate until spring.

Thats me (well 5' 7 1/2") and the Merstons in medium fit me perfectly.

I'm 5'6", 36" waist, 42" chest, 29" inside leg and I have a pair of dhb 3/4 length bib tight's that are perfect for me as if they were full length (no taking the piss). I think they are a 'Large'.

What a bunch of egg-shaped Humptys we are!

Bugger now Iv'e got to decide, think I may go for the mediums as Moose is not certain of the size.

If it helps, I'm 5' 7" with a 29" inside leg, 32" waist, 38" chest - I have mediums in both the 3/4s and the tights. No problems with fit and the leg length is fine.

Thought I'd resurect this to let anyone know for future sizing purposes, mine are a Medium - just checked as I'm ordering some more.

I have the Eanrleys and the Merstons. The Earnleys are a lighter weight but still reasonably warm. The Merstons are fleecy and very warm. The 3/4 length bibs are quite long though.

All in all I find them exceptional value for money.
