Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

roubaix bib tight sizing questions

Hello all, first post here, be mercifull!

I would like to get a pair of bib tights to fit over my present bib shorts, which are a giordana forma size Large.

If I get the giordana roubaix without the pad, do I just get the large size also? One tends to think that they would be sized to fit over their range of shorts yes?

Im 5'9" and weigh 185lbs, have either a larger than normal torso, or smaller than normal inseam (30") I guess it depends on how you look at it.

best regards and thank you


carl

I've been wearing 2 or 3 layers this winter and they are all the same size. I'd say to go head and order your same size, unless I'm missing something here. I'm about 5'11" and 195 with a short inseam (pants inseam, bike inseam is unknown) and my L Under Armor pants fit. I'd say you'd be fine. Warm weather is coming soon. I may try to wait and get a spring clearance sale on winter clothes, if you can wait.
