Clothing 101- recommendations

More comparison if helps for bigger people. 6'3 and 100kg. Mega long arms, like 6' 6 or 6' 7 wingspan.

XL in galibier. There was one pair of shorts, regal I think, I was XXL. But other shorts and bottoms XL is perfect.

It's worth reading their clothing description on whether it's race fit or relaxed. For example the Mistral jacket is a little loose on me but I'm happy with it as I tend to wear it on really miserable days so relaxed fit is fine.

I only have their Mistral tights in large. I have a 32" leg. I take a large in their shorts.

Just the right length. for me. Usually will be wearing them with overshoes anyway. Last weekend I wore them outside the overshoes so that water would run down the outside rather than into the overshoes. The only thing about them is the ankle cuff is a little loose due to not elastic materials (windproof I assume) down there.

I'd say for a 34" leg they might be a bit short maybe in Large. If they had loops under the foot like Assos ones do that might be a different story.

I've them in XL and I have 34 inch leg (well 34 to 35) too. Fit me very well but do have a little bit extra length. I'm 100kg so need the XL.

I'd email and ask them....

Thanks for the replies, folks

What's the sizing like in castelli. XL in galibier equals XXL or XXXL in castelli?

Cheers, looked at the sizing and went 2 up.

44 to 45 inch chest looked big for XXL.

I haven't really gone wrong on any site trusting the sizing chart (even Ali and DH Gate!).

I emailed Galibier, and got a reply. The large in the Equipe tights is designed for 33/33 waist and leg. The XL is 34/34. They are also "high stretch" according to the reply, so if you're a 33" waist and don't have big legs*, then the large would be the best option.

*I can't quantify what might constitute big legs, but I'm a 33" waist, and closer to a 33" leg than a 34, so I'll order large. I'll post on here re. sizing once I order and receive them

5ft 11 & 100kgs and wearing large across all Galibier bibs. I like mine super tight though.

I wear a Galibier Mistral pro 2 jacket in an XL so what would be best size for there barrier base layer?

My other two current base layers are dhb Merino Long Sleeve in large and Föhn Merino Long in medium.

Veloskin Chamois cream. Changed from Assos a while back and find it a better product with less needed for same results. I get it via Amazon & the Mrs prime account to avoid charges from buying direct.

Vaseline
