    Just wondering if anyone has experience of Santini V Castelli sizing and how similar (or not) it is? Everything I read says I should size up for Castelli so I assume I should, but I really want to try and avoid messing around with having to send things back if I get the size wrong. I'm 5'10, 78kg and I wear a large in Santini for both bib shorts and top.



    Specifically I'm looking at getting Castelli nanoflex bib, which I think are a little bit longer in the leg, and a Gabba 3. Probably the nanoflex arm and leg warmers as well.

    I'm 5'11 and 73-76kg. Wear a Large Gabba and Medium Nanonflex leg and arm warmers. But I have a pair of M Santini bib shorts which are definitely not too small - if that helps.

    I'm 6'2" and 84 kg. I don't have any Santini clothing but I take an XL in the Castelli Gabba 3 jersey and Perfetto vest.

    I would guess that large would fit you for the Gabba and probably the bib-shorts.

    I hope this helps :)

    I would guess that you're a large in Castelli! I'm 5'11" and 84 kgs - XL in Castelli!

    I'm 6' and 85Kg (on a good day) and XL Castelli fits fine.

    I’d stick with Santini it’s far superior quality. I’ve had some disappointing Castelli gear that’s been really poor value for money.

    If you don’t heed warning definitely size up,

    I bought the Tabula Rasa bibshorts. Not sure whether it's meant to be fit this tight or not but 2XL never been so small for me. I can get into them and not squeezing the thights, can't stop wondering do I need a size up or not. The fabric is different to what I've seen before, not as stretchy as others would be.
    I'm not the slimmest, 187 cm and 98kg, bit of a lard around the waist(10kg excess). I'd say better to keep them as a motivation to get more lighter. Waist/hips ratio 93/103cm should be within Castelli's 98/112 cm.
