My measurements fitted L on the size guide but they arrived far too big, I'd suggest going smaller than the guide suggests. Quality wise they looked good but obviously I didn't ride in them.

Castelli Velocissimo 5 Bib Tights
The Castelli Velocissimo 5 Bib Tights are highly versatile and well suited to most winter rides that may drop into single digits. With a focus on performance the tight pairs two technical fabrics, utilising soft, stretchy and warm Thermoflex from the knee to the waist and fleeced Nano Flex below the knee, which is warm, splash resistant and elastic enough to be able to eliminate the need for ankle zips. The upper body is a mesh construction, regulating body temperatures and allowing sweat to escape quickly, maintaining dry comfort when you're working hard.
A Kiss Air2 seat pad takes care of your most sensitive areas, absorbing shock and allowing you to ride comfortably hour after hour. Adding reflective inserts enhances safety, making you more visible to other road users in low light.

If you're unfamiliar with your Castelli size, we recommend you go up one size to obtain the best fit possible. Note that you do not need to size up for jackets or vests; please select your normal jersey size.
Castelli clothing is designed for its intended use and should be comfortable when on your bike in a riding position. Your garment should be snug to provide you with moisture-wicking capabilities, as an aerodynamic aid and prevent any fabric from flapping in the wind.
If you require any advice on Castelli sizing, please do not hesitate to contact us.
A. Chest: Holding the tape horizontally, measure under your armpits with your arms relaxed at your sides, around the fullest part of your chest.
B. Waist: Holding the tape horizontally, measure around your natural waistline, across the belly button, keeping the tape a bit loose.
C. Hips: Holding the tape horizontally, measure around the largest part of your hips, keeping the feet close together.
D. Inseam: Measure from the crotch to the base of the ankle bone
Reviews
I've been using these full length bib-tights for the past month. There's no zips, they simply pull on, and once they're on they're really comfortable, no bunching anywhere and they keep me warm down to 2-3C. I'm 1.88m, 74kg and the large size is a great fit.

About Castelli
At the front since 1876.
Castelli has been at the front of cycling apparel since 1876, founded in Milan as the original maker of pro race kit. From the first cycling jerseys to today's WorldTour-proven aero garments, the brand has spent nearly 150 years putting innovation onto the backs of the fastest riders in the world.
Castelli outfitted the first organised cycling teams in Italy and has been a constant presence in the pro peloton ever since. The Scorpion logo appears on more WorldTour podiums than almost any other apparel mark.
