  • Well, for the Mens Pro Team stuff, it does fit aero skin tight, i guess "like an 80's catsuit".

    For the womens souplesse, my understanding is that it is the womens version of the Pro Team stuff (If i'm incorrect, i do apologize).

    If you don't have a Pro Team type body (regardless of XS,S,M,L,XL,XXL) then you don't really belong in Pro Team gear... Stick with the Classic items as they are a more relaxed fit.

    Give Rapha your body measurements and your feedback, and see what they say.

  • They don't need my body measurements, some of the guys there are friends of mine. If they are catering for only supreme beings rather than normal people why the hell do they even have garments made in L let alone XL?

    I repeat - I still don't understand how, when they state that a garment will fit chest size 102cm, the actual garment measures up at 94cm across the chest.

    Fit nonetheless, their sizing is extremely inconsistent.

  • The women's Leather Town Gloves suffer a similar issue. They're sized for children. My GF is Xsmall in the mens GT gloves, and winter gloves and even a medium in the women's is far too small. The sizing on the website bears no relationship to the gloves for sale at all, as according to that she'd need a small.

    Obviously first world problems, but they're not cheap, so you'd expect somebody in Rapha to have actually checked the size of the gloves before creating the webpage sizing chart. It seems they just couldn't be bothered.
