I want a gillet but don’t know what size. Last batch I ordered a couple XXL items so what size do I need to match (I lost a bit of weight since so if it’s between two sizes happy to with smaller....).
I’m thinking the 43.25-45”?

In old money 45" was covered by XXL

I think I have moobs now so does that count

Best put your name down for a ladies version.

Presumably if I order the former is that likely to be skin tight still?

It shouldn't be absolutely skin tight but it will be a snug fit.

Long sleeved tops definitely not an option?

Sadly not Colin. Change of policy now means that we're unable to combine SS and LS, so there probably wouldn't be the numbers to reach minimums of either if both were available.

Gotcha. Bit of a shame they've changed policy on that. Not sure I want another short-sleeved jersey. (As a general point, thin, full-zip, long-sleeved jerseys are quite hard to find.)

I don't suppose there's any chance you have the size guides for the last jerseys Stu? Only for reference like

I am keen for both jersey and gilet. Just need to figure out my size!

I don't suppose there's any chance you have the size guides for the last jerseys Stu?

I'll see if Dee has it somewhere Ben.

Thanks. Would be helpful

The advantage for me is that a SS will defo fit me and a LS jersey will prob have sleeves that are too short (as unfortunately most do)

As requested by Ben - these are the sizes of the green / black jerseys, so for those who have them, you should be able to match your old jersey size to a new one.

XS 29.1-32.3"
S 32.3-35.4"
M 35.4-38.6"
L 38.6-41.7"
XL 41.7-44.9"
XXL 44.9-46.5"
3XL 46.5-49.6"
4XL 49.6-52.8"
5XL 52.8-55.9"

When is last orders?

When is last orders?

Probably another week or so.

Any idea of back length? I'm usually an XL, but 6'5".

Don't have a measurement, but I'm 6'3 and have a large jersey - back length was fine. Not super long, but perfectly fine, and doesn't have the high front like some of the other roadie cut stuff (which when I stand up in those properly exposes the waist band of whatever I'm wearing)

For reference I'm a 'regular' tall person, arms and limbs in proportion, take a 38L suit and it generally fits off the peg

Perfect, thanks Stu, very helpful (and surprised by how many sizes they had!)

So interestingly, here's what mine looks like (think this might be useful as i'm boringly mid pack amongst this odd group of people )

Was a size large in the old version, which is 38.6-41.7"

New version has a 38.5-40.25 and a 40.25-41.75

So they've taken the old sizing and split it in two, like a lower large and an upper large

Would anyone be able to post a photo of the gilet?

Here's a poor one but you'll get the idea.

Going off grid for a few days, will get my order in on Friday night

Where are we at on the women's numbers? I can add another 1... (no, not for my sexy body )

Think that still leaves us short by 3.

Ahh Ok. Stupid bikepacking demographics!

Cue the Monty P Holy Grail scene at the stoning, with all the blokes actually being women dressed as blokes.... I wonder if some of our brethren are keeping something quiet.... maybe if you pushed hard enough the numbers might strangely increase

Yup.

Blast! You're right of course, ta. I only said Jehovah though.

Thanks for size info stu.
