Castelli Bib Short Sizing

For all of our Castelli products we publish sizing charts like the one for Castelli Endurance bib shorts below.  

Castelli Bib Shorts 

You will note that we size Castelli bib shorts by height.  We have found this to be the best way to size bib shorts.  Some individuals will have a shorter torso and some longer, but we find height to be the best measure for bibs. It is first priority to get the bib strap length right in order to get the optimum fit: too long and the straps will be loose, failing to hold the shorts up and in position effectively; too short could cause discomfort, pulling the short up too tightly with straps potentially cutting in on the shoulders.  In general, Castelli bib shorts fit about a size smaller than brands such as Pearl Izumi, Sugoi and others.  

By employing a combination of different fabrics, Castelli fine-tunes the fit of each area of their bibshorts to fit tightly, supporting critical leg muscles through compression, while remaining flexible enough to not inhibit movement or constrict blood flow.

Castelli Cycling Jerseys

As with their bib short, the general rule for Castelli Cycling Jerseys is they tend to run small. Most individuals will want to size up one size from the American size (same is true with Australian and UK sizing.)  In same cases, we have known individuals who prefer a looser fit to size up a two whole sizes from their normal size.
