Since I'm a size 10 , 32 chest and 30 waist do I go for a small Monaco or do I ignore the measurements and go up a size to a medium? ??45 ish is a lot to spend and have it not fit.
oh, I don't know whether to do the same as brit now
I am going to go to evans when I get a chance as they have LG stuff in there, so I can try some on and see how it is. With a tri top, you don't want it baggy as in the water it will really slow you down, in a pool that is, under a wetsuit wouldn't matter
I am thinking medium all the way, I know from meeting IronCat what size he is, so can compare and my monaco is a snug medium but large would flap around too much and small would rip as I put it on. Mathschhick I am size12/14 if that helps.
steady, thanks - that does help. I am not quite down to a size 12, but should be after I lose a bit more flab. I am a bit large busted - does that make a lot of difference? Mind you, they will get smaller too as I lose a bit more weight
Ive just checked the responsibilities of my role as "Junior Subordinate, YTS tea-boy, Stand In Dogsbody to the Kit Commander In Chief" and I can confirm it includes Womens Kit Measurer*
*whips out tape measure*
Please note as im keen to impress the Kit Commander In Chief my initiative extends to offering a web cam estimation service.
Ladies - if it's any help - I have a small cycle top and cycle jacket which are both quite roomy for a 34 - 36" bust and an xs monaco which is a snug fit but wouldn't want to be any bigger for swimming in.
I shouldn't have come in here - I'm being tempted by the thought of a gilet - any one know how they size compared to the cycle tops/jackets?
If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.
On behalf of Schmunkee, can I remind everyone to read the details/instructions that have been sent out by email 3rd October. All details are covered in the email.
I've read all the emails and thread posts carefully, but this will be the first time I have bought expensive clothes without trying them on and with a 'no returns' policy, therefore I'm being careful to get it right.
I've been a bit naughty, therefore, and have ordered above item from a certain chain of bike shops to try for size - can get an idea of fit then get a refund for a fraction of the cost of travelling to the nearest store. (That's me showing a bit of initiative!!)
A couple of pages back I asked for a cycle top. Thinking about it - and hopefully getting all I'll need in one go - could I add a medium Monaco to that too.
Don't want anything to go wrong here....I've had your email and sent the requested reply. If for some technologically wierd reason you've not had it please let me know!

Does anyone know how the LG sizes compare to the sizes for the Carvalho tri stuff from a few years ago?

I would say quite poss Carvalho is a bit smaller than LG ... but not by much
Go a size bigger than you would usually is my advice

NOW!
I think Barlos might have read his job description wrong ...
I think he's showing initiative and should be rewarded!
I think you are on particularly dodgy ground as well

I was thinking about doing the same Brit!! I would be gutted to order a load of stuff then not be able to wear it
I'll let you know how it fits! I reckon if the Monaco fits, then the jersey and jacket definitely will
Sorry Schmunkee..........
Can I cancel that
I just had a look at my bank account and its not looking pirate friendly at the mo
I will have to order on the next one

Thank you muchly!
You both have PM. As the order is now progressing, it's important that you action it asap otherwise the order will continue without you

You now have email at the address you supplied
