CastelliMen's Entrata Thermal Bibknicker(Return to Product Page)

I love Castelli's products. They wear well and are well worth the extra $$. This bibknicker will serve me into the future, I'm sure. However (and this comes as no surprise to anyone else with Castelli's stuff), their sizing is way off for most American weekend warriors who are not built like Italian climbers. I'm 6-1 and 190 pounds. Ride 100-150 miles a week. According to the Castelli site I'm a Large. No way!! I looked at the BTD sizing chart, and they figured I was a XL. Okay -- I have Castelli jerseys in XL, so let's order it. When I tried in on, it was too short over the shoulders and a bit too tight and, if worn, would have had me singing soprano within 5 miles. Went back to BTD and ordered the 2XL and returned the XL (BTD does make returns easy.). PERFECT fit. If Castelli could be honest about their sizing, I'd give them 5 stars. Or I just have to accept, that in their world, I'm huge.
