How do you Castelli users find it sizes? There are a few deals about on some jerseys. Half price.
I’m between small and medium normally. Bought an Ale top (Italian) in med and that’s a tight fit, but fine. Though its actually from their ‘relaxed’ range!
I’m 5ft 8 ish. 70-74kgs. Quite broad on shoulders and chest for my size. Basically not full skinny runner/triathlete/cyclist shape.
Tiny Italians. Always one size up for me.
I’m a large Castelli - medium everything else
as Adam says - Italians always size small. I’ve given up buying Italian products as they never fit me properly
Similar size (fairly broad, and have some shoulders), and I have medium stuff. That’s fine if you like things snugg. My Gabba 3 and gilets are fine in that. The Perfetto light 2 is strangely even smaller, but it just about works. I can easily get a couple of baselayers under the Gabba to keep me comfy on the torso at 0 degs. I feel large would be too baggy
Cool cheers @stenard.
Think I’ll give the med a go.
I’m not really into team kit, but they have some Ineos tops for half price which seem pretty decent value.
Which sites are you looking at? Bibs are probably what I need. Too many have been trashed on the trainer this year!
Probikekit for that one. Though not looking so good on bibs, as I really need a second pair!
I’m L for Perfetto Light, but M in the Alpha jacket. So there is some variation 🤷
Medium will be full skin tight fit for tops for you I think @gingerbongo, but probably right for shorts.
The problem I’ve always had with Italian stuff (been a while since I’ve had Castelli) is that even if I get the bibs big enough (XXXXL fat bastard) the straps on the bibs are never long enough.
I wonder what those bikerists would say if I bought an Ineos Jersey and some Bora shorts?!
@Poet would come out in hives the moment I hit ‘buy’
As long as it doesn’t have rainbow stripes, wear WTF you like.
I am a little shorter than you GB and sound a similar shape (*hench bro 
) and wear medium jersey and small shorts in Castelli.
*Just a short, fat, middle aged man now 
A warning! Castelli alpha 2 ros jacket is weirdly BIG on sizing. Which is wonderful cos you can layer up underneath. But certainly don’t order a size up like we all normally do.
I’m not known for being shy or retiring but wearing the giro pink jersey is too much for me. £53 only size M colour available.
5’7” ex rugby player. Slimmed down a bit over the years and currently 66-68kg. Medium bibs and jerseys for me. You may find the aero jerseys right around the chest/shoulders.
This is a medium. On my scrawny 5 year old! It’s really not that big!!
With my little Xmas gut, it looks awful. Large is OK. But it’s very, very thin and light - it’s the climbers jersey.
Bought another one - hors categorie - which fit me (mostly) fine in med, but a bit baggy in odd places. Hated the colour and the style of the hems though. So that’s a no.
Got to try the bib shorts next. Then decide if I like the Ineos top enough to drop 50 quid. Or if its another mass fail at buying a new Jersey?! That would be 9 tops going back out of 11 this year. Got lucky with my first 2 purchases it would seem.
I have similar issues. Large in the tops. medium in the classic bibs, large in the lightweights.
Same craziness with Assos.
Uhoh! Ive got not much to look forward to then! 
Great modelling btw 
Good idea about keeping the label on the kid, that way you can return them.
