CAPO bib short sizing

[masornia925]

Anyone else run into sizing issues with their bib shorts running small? According to their sizing chart i am supposed to be a large, returned those for an xl due to fitting too tight, but the xl's are still too small. BTW i am 6'1 w/ 34" waist... May put up XL Capo BOB bibs (unused) in classifieds since i got these from a diff company that only offers store credit

I have found Capo sizing very hit and miss. By the size charts I am Large in both lowers and uppers. I have bought bib shorts like the Limited Peloton in the past and they have been far too big, but then bought the Peloton Roubaix bib tights and found them on the verge of being too small, while the Modena bibs fit me perfectly. In the uppers the sizing variability has not been as extreme, but I have one wind vest that is a little on the long side compared to all other Capo uppers I own.

There is a reason for this....Capo contracts out its manufacturing to other companies and as a result their control on the sizing is not as good. For example, the Peloton Roubaix tights above were made in Italy but the Limited Edition bib shorts were made in Canada. I do not have any experience with the most recent 2011 Capo line, mostly product from 2009-2010.

I have Modena small and they are little too big for me.
5'8" 140 lbs.
I do like them but wish they were a little tighter.

5'10 34 waist- large works for me in a few different cuts of their bibs.

Capo runs small and tight for me. I'm 5'8" 190 and I have to go for xl but it fits strange. I use l in Louis Garneau, and it all fits perfect.
