    Tried once, never worn. Tags still on. Exactly as pictured here:

    Great tights, water repellant and made from the same lycra as used by Rapha (Miti).

    Unfortunately sizing turned out to be way off: they are marked as XXL but seem more like L to me and my monster legs ;) Also, I'm 188cm / 6'2 and the shoulder straps seem to be a tad too short. But maybe I have a long torso, I don't know.

    Price: 50e fixed.

    is it just the length that's an issue?

    I am quite a bit shorter, 174cm, but 90Kg.

    Would they fit do you think? the interactive sizing chart reckons i would be an XXL

    Length and general tightness - they're like compression fit on me, and I like things to be rather on the loose side in winter.

    You're welcome to try if ever around D8! :)

    I am tempted. Tightness is a problem for me because I'm not exactly a classic cyclist build (more the classic MAMIL build :D)

    Let me think about it

    What size bibs do you normally wear, and which brands?

    I usually wear a large. My most comfortable are an Altura one and one I was given which is made by Impsport

    I used to wear Altura's XL... these should be fine for you then.

    Hey Alek, offer asking.

    I'm an L in DHB longs and the Ekoi size chart puts me at XXL in these so I reckon they should work. :)

    Accepted! 😊

    i was curious to find out more about Ekoi so looked at their website and ended up buying one of their thermal jackets with the intention of coming back here and making an offer for the tights.

    Oh well, you snooze you lose :)
