Cycling kit sizing

Hi all :) I was looking at getting a team kit, perhaps the movistar one from CRC. I was just wondering about jersey sizing. I usually wear L most things. I currently use lidl/aldi tops and their L size fit me snugly. They don't seem to stock XL size, and was wondering if XXL would be too big/lose? Thanks!

Every manufacturer is different. You need to check out each individual makers sizing guide. I have medium large and XL jerseys and they all roughly fit the same.

If you normally wear size L then most definitely do not buy XXL.

If buying online get two sizes you think might fit. Try both, see which one is best, return the other one to get refund. Shouldnt cost you more than €10-€15 to return bibs and jersey if youre buying Say from Germany.

Oh yeah you want it to be snug rather than flappy..
