Sizing of Gore products?

[VeloVT]

No experience at all with the bottoms, but fwiw I have several Gore jerseys and they seem to run quite true to size; they tend to have a very fitted cut but do not run small (or large).

I will be interested to hear what your experience is with the bottoms -- Gore has some shorts & tights that look pretty nice, online at least.

I hope this is somewhat helpful -- based on what I've read here, it seems that people have wildly different perceptions of how clothing runs based on body type -- and I'm NOT talking about size per se at all -- but, for instance, I think Castelli jerseys run true, but I have a flat chest and scrawny arms. Seems like there are a lot of people who think it runs small -- but often they are women who actually sport some cleavage (I'm jealous). I find Giordana jerseys to run small, but I am long-waisted and tallish; some people think Giordana runs true... So I don't know how helpful my lone opinion is... But good luck !

Edit: so, to relate Gore to my ramble above, Gore runs bigger and much longer than Giordana (probably a full size), and perhaps slightly more generous than the older (pre-2008) Castelli, but less than a size difference.
