ive got mediums, 33" waist and they're adjusted to their smallest waist - there loads of adjustment, so you'd be fine with mediums.

Mine just arrived in the post. 36" waist and i went for XL - they just about fit if i pull in the velcro tabs and there is certainly room to spare. Probably be fine once i put winter bib tights under them.

They don't come up as long as my Endura 3/4 length shorts though as the Attacks come up over my knees while cycling which is a bit disappointing (as the main point of 3/4 is to cover the knees) but then my legs are *ahem* slightly longer than average. It's good to be a freak.... 🙁

You are all fatties aren't you? 😆

I wear my wife's pair 😳

I'm 34" waist, not sure of sizing.

They give me sweaty knees.

Bugger, so it looks like the mediums i ordered the other day for my 32" waist are going to be too big..?
I'd best get on the pies then...

jackal - the sizing is pretty weird - I took a large and a medium into the changing room - the large was pretty big but I could just about get away with them with the velcro waist straps done right up, and the medium felt just a bit too tight....... When I took them off I saw that they were on the wrong hanger and I had just got into a small !!! got a 'proper medium' and tried them on - perfect....

I'm 33" waist, got mediums and had to have them adjusted as tight as they would go, changed for small's and they are perfect! maybe they just like flattering their customers!

Hmmmm....

Just this second received my 3/4 attacks, and.....
They fit perfect!

Now, I normally take jeans in a 32" waist, but i've just measured with a tape measure and i'm ,erm, actually slightly larger than a 32" waist shall we say... Ok then, nearer 34" waist, but i'm not sure if i'm measuring in the correct place 🙄
No way would i fit in a small.

Anyway, very pleased that they fit but gutted i've discovered that i'm a fat bastard, pleasure and pain 😆

Big thanks to Merlin anyway, only ordered them 3.00pm tuesday and they arrived 10am thurs morn, even with a postal strike..!

😀
