How does the overland Jersey and either Kona bibs or Cadence bibs size up?

6'1" / 32"-33" waist / 33" inseam and 'well built' at present.

And PSA as well: https://www.polaris-bikewear.com/

Can't speak for precisely those products, but IME it fits to the size guide and it's a normal, non racing snake fit. We're of similar proportions and I buy Large.

Cheers for the PSA too, I'll be getting some stuff. Polaris stuff is just good, no nonsense, stuff

I’ve always found their sizing normal. Excellent quality products.

They're based up the road from me so I always buy a few bits into their sale. I'm 6'5" and a bit fatter than you. Generally go for an XL which seems fine.

Agreed they are good kit - a touch hit and miss on some things, but mrs_oab wears their lycra shorts and winter tops and prefers them to Endura.

The Overland jerseys are long for their girth, if that makes sense. I also found the arms to be a bit skinny. FWIW I have quite a few other Polaris jackets/jerseys and find the fit pretty good. All size Medium for me though.

I too have loads of their stuff usually bought in various offers and it has always been good value if not always quite cutting edge fashion. They do have new owners which is why stock has been run down. I shall be very interested in seeing their new designs, hopefully they will stick with the Polaris ethos.

I ordered a pair of Discovery wet weather shorts from the current sale (that looked great) in a Medium. I'm 5'11" (180cm) and I'm generally a 32" waist. I could get into them but they were pretty snug, even around the thighs, so I sent them back. Unfortunately they didn't have any large in stock anymore. Was impressed with them though, at £25 they were a steal, shame they're being discontinued!

Just bought an £18 l/s top in their sale as I liked the claim for bramble proof panels on the arms. I'm a shorter, tubby Large, and I'd say the fit is generous.
