Will have to start the exchange process.
I find sizing of cycling gear to be really confusing, though of course I'm not the only one. I've been wearing Louis Garneau bibs for years, always in XL. This year, having lost 30 lbs, I bought some in L. They fit in the shoulders and the crotch, but the legs look like women's shorts! Like, at least 3" shorter in the leg! So, I just wear those on the trainer where nobody can see my tan lines.
In Jerseys, I have Pearl Izumi L, Giro XL, and Castelli XXL, which all fit the same.
I have a pair of Sidi shoes in 46 which fit great, so I bought another pair of Sidis in 46 that are a bit large.
It really makes buying bike clothes online a crap shoot.
