Could you post a pointer to this thread and include specifics for the women's cut/order process in the Womens forum? You'll have a wider audience.

A HUGE THANK YOU!!!!

Hiya - psyched to order, but looking for advice on womens sizing.

5'5", 140 lb. 36-C. I wear medium in IP and Zoot gear, but my chest and arms are a little bigger. Otherwise average body shape.

Thanks,

You. You make me stronger.

Thanks Tracy!

I'm assuming your don't have the bibs for women as I didn't see any on De Soto's site. Correct?

If that's the case - have any of the ladies worn the men's 400 mile bibs and if so how did the sizing compare? I have a couple pairs of the ladies 400 mile shorts in size small, think I could get away with the men's small in a bib or will the fit, pad/straps (perhaps) be off? Unfortunately I don't have any De Soto dealers around here (north of Toronto, Ontario, Canada) to try a men's bib on.

Appreciate any feedback. Thanks.

Hi Barrel O Monkey-

That's correct- we don't make women's bibs. We could offer you our women's 400 mile bike short with white stitch which would look great, or we could make a black body with blue stitch & blue pocket piping.

In regards to men's, what version of the women's bike do you own? The new version (wb1) or the previous version (WB)? I ask to help you with sizing as we made the new version consistent with our sizing.

Thanks!

Hi AC-

I think you'll be a size M in femme too. Do you current own anythjng of ours?

Thanks for the quick reply Tracy. I have the previous version (WB).

I'd love to buy this but need help with sizing. Can I get men's bibs since you don't make women's, or will the fit be off? What do you suggest?
Female
5'4" tall
165 lbs
34" waist
41.5" hips
40.5" bust
15" from shoulder to shoulder, measured on my back

I'm a true hourglass shape but am quite busty.

Thanks!

Ordered and emailed you that I would appreciate clothes that fit a woman!

Love the 400mile bibs.
This is a great deal.
Hopefully the design turns out as cool as it looks on paper.

I just ordered my jersey and I'm an older guy that also has a triathlon history dating back to the mid 1980's but I'm never been speedy! The 400 mile pad is too bulky in the aero position on my cobb saddle but the newer thinner pads would work. Thanks for the commemorative kit and memories.

As someone else kind of between sizes... 5'10" and around 150... I was thinking small, does that sound right to you? Thanks, looks great and will order as soon as I figure out the size.

Hi! I think the men's bibs may be fine on you for sizing but the pad is a different shape. Some women don't do well in men's pads, others aren't bothered at all by it. Let me know if you'd like to keep the men's sublimated bibs or if you'd like the women's bike short (which I would suggest ordering in a size medium in the wb1.). Please let me know so I may update your order.

Thanks, Sally. I replied to your email. I will change the bibs to 400 mile femme bike short.

Hi-

It'd be helpful to have your chest, waist and hip measurement before directing you.

Hi-

Unfortunately, I am not an expert at Castelli sizing. Can you please send me your chest, waist and hip measurement and height/weight. That is the safest way for us to advise.

Thanks!

Emilio,

I'm 6'1 and around 172 lb, I ordered a Large in the bibs and jersey, but now I'm worried that they might be too large for me. I usually fit well in size large from the Euro brands (Nalini, Castelli, Santini, etc.) and this is usually a very good fit for me. However, brands like PI tend to be too big for me in a Large. Do you think I'll need to size down to a medium in both?

I'm more leggy with a 35-36" cycling inseam and have a waist measurement around 33". Chest measures about 39-40"

Also, I definitely like my jersey to be a slimmer fit.

Thanks!

These kits look really cool, I ordered one. Dan and Emilo, wishing ya's another 25 good years.

I'd be interested in the response to this post too.

So 5'10"/150 lbs. 38 chest, 29 waist 35 hips. I prefer a slimmer fitting jersey if that makes a difference. Thanks.
