I have two pairs of Endura under shorts, size medium which measure
41cm across the flat at the waist, This translates to 32in
circumference.
My neighbour has Boardman Bibs, medium - 37cm = 29 inch waist.
My undershorts are fine and the Boardman bibs were tight.
So I ordered Endura Bibs - Large and on arrival I thought there was a mistake as they measured 32cm across = 25 inch waist.
Now if you use their size guide (which I did) it states 'Large' 34/35
inch waist.
I contacted them and the reply was they are a 'racey' fit Wow ten
inches smaller = 'racey'!
I bought bibs as they are reportedly 'loose around the waist, so they
don't constrict'.
Am I missing something?

your waist when you're in a tuck and they don't slide down to leave a
gap at the back. I do find that sizing can be variable and in some
cases just doesn't go big enough for my currently 40+ inch waist, but
you are within the "acceptable size range" for "proper cyclists" so
that shouldn't be a problem. If in doubt ask for actual measurements,
but that's not necessarily helpful when dealing with something as
stretchy as Lycra and particularly when you might be looking at
garments that are intended to have a compression fit.

These Enduras (Large) are quoted as 35 to 37 inch waist. Measured
they are 24 inch slack to 30 inch fully expanded. This has to be
wrong. They are not a racey fit - they are an impossible fit.
