I'm 6'2", 180 lbs, 31-32 waist. The waist sizing is M and height wise I'm a L. Anyone same size riding hammer bibs? If so, which size did you go with?

I'm convinced on the Hammer Bibs and ready to pick up a couple. Need some help though.
I'm 5'8" 157lb (will be 152 soon 5lbs I gained during injury will come off easy). I wear a 30 waist. Should I get the small or medium?
Small sizing chart says 5'4" to 5'8" 29-31 but 120-145 weight.
Medium is 5'7" to 5'11" 32-34 and 145-170.
I would normally just get medium but someone said his legs were loose on his.
Also, where do you enter someone's customer # for referral for the first purchase discount?

The legs start loose but tighten up when you ride. I have found that the size is similiar to the perforance elite shorts.
You enter the number at the last page when ordering. I PM'ed you my customer # if you want to use it.

Bicycling mag has a review in it this month. Performance won in the under $100 range.
(I didn't read the 5 pages of posts, so excuse me if I am repeating someone)

I recently got a pair of the ultras and think they are very nice, but the durability is not so great. They already show signs of wear on the seams on the inside of the chamois where they touch the saddle after two rides, granted very long rides (450 miles total.) This is something my hammer bibs do not have a problem with...
They are, however, very nice fitting and the Escher fabric and elastic chamois are excellent. Perhaps the seams will balance out and not wear through.

Got 2 pairs of PI '3D Race' bibs from Sierra Trading Post for less than $60 each. They look & feel identical to the Attack bibs I have, so I'm not sure what the difference is. The 3D Race chamois is identical in both. It's dual density and thick at the pressure points. Too thick for some, but I like it.

They restock these, so check back for sizes. I got a free shipping email and 15% off, so I saved a ton off the listed price.

Can someone address the question of leg length (to save me the trouble of reading/searching 
)? I prefer my bibs long, closer to the knee. How are Hammer's?
EDIT: George, what size do you normally wear, and what size were the Hammer's you tried on?

IMO that's not a good thing. I don't see how they can tighten up when you ride - I think that if thats happening the only reason I could possibly think of is that your legs are swelling a little because there is more blood being pumped to them. If the legs are loose thats a sign of an ill fitting short IMO. Most people buy shorts too big.

In the last 6 weeks I've picked up: the Hammers by Voler, the close-out CSC by Descente and the recent Nasbar special Sugois.
The Sugois are the best but the other 2 aren't far behind and I like all 3. The Sugoi special is over and at retail they're expensive. I don't know if there are any CSC kit left either but if the Hammers are back in stock I'd say go for it.
