Thinking of getting some of the Max Repel bibtights, but seem to be between sizes.*

Need a 35" waist, which XL on their size chart, but I'm only 5'9", which suggests medium. Any real world experiences, or alternative suggestions?

Thanks

* NB - I am "between sizes", I am not short and fat.

[s] I am not short and fat.[/s]
I'm vertically deficient and horizontally blessed..

Id recommend spending bit more and get some castelli or dhb pro bibs.
Think carefully if you want foot stirrups.. I personally don't like them

IME, bib waistlines are often pretty stretchy

That said, unless the leg length is a big issue for you, go for the waist as specified and just live with the rucks at the bottom

Hadn't spotted the stirrups, guess I need some more suggestions for padded bib longs then.....

I'm 6'2 34" waist and use large lusso kit (got a pair of bib shorts & tights), which fits really well if a little bit short in the body.
I'd probably go large for you as there's a bit of room in them (my waist is 34 on a good day..)

I probably need quite a few "good" days before I can get to 34" waist 🙄
