What size bibshorts would people recommend for 6ft, 30/32" waist person? IMO the sizing should be like wetsuits, eg. long medium for taller thin people, short medium for stockier small people. But it isn't. I'm guessing i'd be a large, but i fear a large might be abit baggy around the waist?

lycra is pretty stretchy, and i prefer to have it tighter rather than loose. i usually go for a small (same waist as you, 5foot10) and it should stretch an extra couple of inches for the height, dont quote me on that though.

Depends massively on what brand you buy, you really have to try them on, some are made for ickle Italians, some for huge Belgians, some for chubby Brits.

I see what you mean, but i'd hate it to be tight on my shoulders, rest of me i don't mind. I think i might try a medium to start with amd see how it goes.

Because i won't get a chance to go to the bike shop for a while, and stuff is much cheaper online.
