....I'm 6'3, 205lbs, 36 waist, average proportions with a big butt. Nowhere local to try on, but I have a PI credit...

Do I go XL or XXL??

:S

I'm guessing XXL.

I'm 5'11

180 lbs

33 waist

I take the Large.

Nice bibs BTW.

That's kind of what I was thinking...it's always a challenge to get bibs that are long enough.

Caveat: I have a bunch of PI shorts, no bibs.

As far as waist goes, if you're a 36 I would say XL at the most. I'm a 35 and L works fine for me. Does the PI web site have any sizing guidelines? Most clothing manufactures try to provide that type of information. Of course, waist diameter is not that critical on bibs.

Good luck.

I am 6'2" with a 36" waist - with the regular Pearl Izumi shorts I think the XL would be fine, with the PRO model I recommend the XXL as they are cut smaller

I think the XXL is the wiser choice. No one wants to see camel toe...

man it is a hard choice for it also depends on how tight you like them. I would try the XXL first

Don't worry about them being too short... you can have extensions sewn onto the straps - or have them shortened if needed. Across the hall Josh has this done - his name explains all... Too Tall....

If you would like, I'd be happy to call my inside rep at PI, give your measurements, and get advice on what size she would recommend you order. Let me know.
