So I'm going to treat myself to a SS Exte Ondo but I'm concerned about sizing. I usually wear a S or XS unisex jersey. I favor the European cuts like Santini but have a problem with XS being too short. In womens Voler etc. I wear a S but they do run short. I tried on an ASSOSS Mens Small and it fit pretty nice. Not sure about Exte Ondo. According to charts I should be a small in either W or Mens. HELP...Length is a concern and I do like a tight fit.
I went through this a few months ago :).
I'm 5'6", size 4, 33.5" bust, size 34A bra. I wear a women's small in Castelli, Gore, Sugoi, Shebeest. PI jerseys don't fit me well because the mediums are too baggy but the smalls are too short.
I was a little hesitant to order a small because so many people seem to advise sizing up, but I went ahead and ordered a small anyway.
It's a good fit on me -- I would say the right size. It's not an especially small fitting small (I once had a small Giordana jersey that looked like it was sized for a 10 year old) -- I would almost say it's on the generous side of small (although remember, I am very small busted), but it's cut nicely and isn't baggy. Length is OK. It's shorter than Castelli or Sportful or Gore, but not as short as PI. It's a wearable length for me (and I"m a bit long waisted for my height). I would say it's comparable in length to my Sugoi jerseys.
How tall are you?
I'm almost 5'7", 140 lbs (pretty lean), 36A bra and have a longer torso. My BF got me an Exte Ondo long sleeve jersey for Christmas. He got the large and it has good length and is snug! I have bigger arms than the average girl but I still thought this was pretty tight on me over the biceps. I would normally wear a women's medium or sometimes even a small but the dealer told my BF to size up and I am sooooooooo glad he did. :D:D:D
I wore the Exte Ondo padded tights I bought from someone here on TE today. They are warm and comfy for cold weather riding, but man, the chamois is not to my liking. For an extra small, it seems really wide. It's not too thick or diaper-ish, but it's creasing into the crease of my leg/trunk. And the "lines" in the crotch area were on the verge of giving me a saddle sore.
I am hoping a washing or two will help. But, it confirms my belief that there are really only 2, maybe 3 brands of shorts I can wear: Terry, Shebeest, and Sugoi.
