    Anyone got a recommendation for good bib shorts?

    I never wear them, as I've yet to find a a pair that fit - tried Giordana, Santini and Gore and found they were either way too tight around the shoulders or too loose around the waist.

    6'2", around 12 stone, 32 in waist.

    6'4 and 13 stone and dhb stuff in large is normally ok for me. I normally go with my waist as you are also a bit hunched on the bike anyway so the height doesn't matter as much.

    In addition, shorts that have a mesh bib stretch that bit more I find.

    There is at least one cyclist on here who is taller than you and weighs under 11st.

    Lose some weight, fatty. :pac:

    Get a large and find someone who is handy with a sewing machine to add pieces material of into the shoulders as needs be. I got pieces of an old white t-shirt sewn in. Perfect!

    I'm 6ft 2 and 30 inch waist and weigh just over 11 and a half stone and wear large shorts and leggings in any of the Italian brands.

    I'm 6'1" and 30" waste. DbH medium is OK but still tight on the shoulders. To be honest I've mostly given up on bib shorts and just ware normal shorts now.
