Not a brand I've tried, but got a voucher and just had a look on the site - good job I've got a voucher!
Seems to be very keen on "close fit" If the size guide is to be believed I'm an XL, but not sure if that allows any room for a tummy?
Any experience?
Our club kit is Le Col. It's very nice. I'm a medium in Le Col, same as I am in every other brand.
I just bought some with a Strava voucher combined with a combo offer they had. Got a sport jersey and some sport bibs for £122 which isn't too bad. Both feel much better than my other kit which I probably paid similar for. I'm also an XL, 6'1, 42" chest, about 85kg. Jersey fit is really good, not too tight but not much spare space either. XL bibs feel tighter than my XL Endura FS260s but the fit feels good. Length is a bit longer but the front of the bid is also tighter making mid ride wee stops a bit more difficult!
It's definitely more race cut than cake stop, IMHO. I've got a XXL unworn as a gift from spring, if anyone's interested (Sport Jersey, black with gold 'Le Col')
I’m also an XL, 6’1, 42″ chest, about 85kg
My measurements too. Except the height. I'm only 5'9 🤔
I don’t think anyone buys Le Col without a voucher, do they?
I hope not, the voucher codes are so easy to get. As I said, I doubled up, got one of those combo deals which they also occasionally do an extra 10% on, then used the £50 code. Worked out really reasonable but not sure I'd spend £220 on what I actually paid £122 for. Not saying it's not up there with other kit costing that money, more that I can't justify that amount of cash.
I'd say similar size to castelli stuff if that's a help... nice stuff jerseys gilet and socks so far... all with 50 quid off voucher... again not sure I'd pay full whack for it
Two cycling buddies have road kit it hasn’t lasted well at all.

In what way? would like to know what to look out for with my stuff
Just had a quick look on the Galibier site to see if they had anything comparable to what I was looking at - yes they do, and it's less than a third of the price of Le Col....
I really rate their pro bib shorts and they're my go to for all the all day or multi day rides.
I also had excellent customer service from them where the pad stitching started coming away on pair after an multiday ride and they sent me a new pair without quibble.
One had his £200 top lose its shape and looked very worn very quick(he swore he always washed it per instructions) and another had stitching coming away after few washes
