Also sizing wise are they normal bloke sizes or Italian stallion whippet sizes

Hubster has some Planet X bib shorts in a Large size. They fit fine, a touch snugger than he normally wears so maybe an XL might have been the way to go for him but he's losing weight so they will be a perfect fit in a fortnight. They didn't fall apart in the wash, or shrink so he's chuffed.

Planet X makes cracking clothing. I have bought loads of kit off them and the vast majority has been really good. One pair of gloves didn't last as long as I would have liked (2 years) but in general the cut is good i.e. race fit not weird and baggy in places. Good value as well.

I have a pair of the clubman light shorts for £25 I have absolutely nothing to complain about. The pad is good, the cut is fine and the material is thick. Compared to a £25 pair of Decathlon shorts they are miles ahead. They are more akin to a £50 pair of shorts.
I also find that the description that Planet X tend to give re cut and fit is spot on.

Thumbs up from me for planet x, good quality and great delivery
I bought some planet x clubman bibs - infact I bought the clubman set they had on offer with jersey and 365 base layer. Only been through the wash a few times so far but the shorts are really comfy, jersey is good with a silky feel but is a little long in the body (the front especially). Fit wise I'd say they were on the larger end of the scale when it comes to cycle clothing definitely not Italian whippet fit and definitely more relaxed than my dhb roubaix clothing of the same size. All in all super value and highly recommended by me so far.
Edit: as a side note the 365 base layer is amazing for the money. Sooooo comfy!! Super figure hugging but super stretchy so you hardly feel you're wearing it.

The Clubman stuff is excellent quality.
The fit is more "relaxed" than "pro" range which can be a bit tight if your not a super-skinny racing snake.

There are no silicone grippers on the shorts but as they are quite a relaxed fit (but still snug like lycra should be) they dont ride up, or at least I dont have a problem with them riding up anyway. They are basically just a double thickness lycra band about an inch and half wide - as for comfort around where the silicone grippers normally are they are superbly comfortable and you cant feel any tightness at all - and I have quite big legs. My DHB roubaix tights are very snug as a reference.

I think the band is slightly tapered to stop them riding up. I haven't had a problem with them, I prefer them to mega tight silicone grippers.
