Bodyfit Pro Bib Tight - Men's

Lasted 1 ride

Beyond awful. They lasted 1 20 mile ride before the outside started to peal and fall apart.

Strangely short length

Familiarity:

I returned this product before using it

Size Bought:

XXL

Height:

5' 10"

Weight:

165

Build-quality seems to be quite nice, the fabric feels substantial, with good fabric flexibility, pretty ideal for winter temps. The problem is sizing—size chart put me in a size L, but this being a Castelli-owned brand, I figured two sizes up would be a better fit; ordered a XXL. For reference, I am 178cm tall and a fit 165 lbs. The tights were four inches too short at the ankles, and about the same at shoulders. (That's 8-inches too short! It's like child sizing.) Giving the benefit of the doubt, I tried them in a riding position, but still found the bib straps digging into my shoulders. Returned. [I ordered these elsewhere to get the navy blue color.]

Great feel and compression

Familiarity:

I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions

These Body Fit Pro bib tights, on first impression, have a great thermal feel and compression is fairly strong. They run a bit small and VERY short in the shoulder straps. I'm tall, 6'2" and 180 (fairly thin). I got a medium and the legs are good, just long enough. Slightly more compression than would be ideal, but still seem like they will be good. The shoulder straps will need to be extended at least 3" just to get them on. They might work (upper bib height-wise) for someone of the same weight, but about 5' 9". I think you'll have to add fabric to the shoulders if you are taller. I would try a large, but they are out of stock.
