I’m getting a LG jersey as part of a team order, and I have no idea what size I am in their clothes. The order’s going in today, so I probably can’t try one on first.
Do their tri jerseys run true to size? I tend not to trust charts… according to them I’m dead-on for a size M, but I’m afraid that my oversize neck (16.5") and not-skinny-runner/cyclist build might mean sizing up. I wear a 5 in most euro stuff if I want it snug, a large in Demarchi… but I’m right between M and L in desoto, especially depending on top vs bottom. Some qualitative take on stretchiness would also be helpful!

My experience is that LG stuff runs small. Also, the singlets are very snug around the arm/shoulder area, so if you have even decent sized shoulders, i’d go larger. See if someone close to you has one you can try on…
A lot of people say they run small. I actually think their custom stuff is dead on for how that size should fit. I am in the M range, but got smalls in both bike jersey and tri top. The tri top is TIGHT, but that’s how I like it for racing. The M feels comfortable and snug. They are very stretchy. If you want tight, go M, if you want comfortable, maybe a couple ripples in the top, go L. I’m 39 chest, 32 waist, 15.5 neck, 5’10", 160 lbs.
if you’re ordering team, tri gear, make sure you ask if they’re using pro-fit or relaxed fit etc. There are different “mediums”.
I’m a 38"chest, 32" waist and wear a Small in LG Tri jerseys (they stretch, a lot, I think we have the monaco model) and a Medium in the cycling top. The small cycling top is too tight for me, but the Medium is a bit roomier than I like.
On the other hand, I’ve gotten a LG jersey from Serotta and it was baggy beyond belief. I sold it since I could never really use it.

Funny you ask… I did work for another triahlon website and got a LG kit in return.
I am 40" chest, 31" waist, 16.5 neck, 5’9", 164lbs and the XL tri top fits nearly perfectly. There is a tiny bit of extra fabric on my stomach, but the Medium and the Large tops were way too tightat the armholes and the chest. I hope this helps. I expect to wear a M short but haven’t gotten those yet.
I’m a M in the shark top, fits perfect. I’m an XS in the shark shorts.
I’m 5’8", 36" chest, 33 waist, 16 neck… 160lbs.

We’ve learned the hard what that you should have asked for a fit kit…
