Desoto sizing

 looking for some help selecting the right size short or tri bib.  no local shops carry desoto so not been able to try on various sizes.  I am 5'10", 163, 32in waist.  I have have last years tri bib in a medium.  very tight in the legs, lower abdomen, and straps cut in the shoulders.  have tried them on two rides and not working.  

looking at the forza riviera short.  based on tri bib fit do I go with a large or stay with the medium?  Currently using a pair of zoot shorts that are moving a little much in the inguinal area leaving nice raw spots on rides longer than 3 hours.

Thanks

  • Shawn, I'm 5'8", 187 pounds, 34 inch waist, and the Forza Tri Short - 4 Pockets Large are a perfect fit...the medium I can't get into...so I'm almost guessing that they may fit you
    ...although the De Soto Mens 400-mile Bib Bike Short in a Medium are tight, but fine...maybe because I'm shorter...sort of weird on the sizing

    ...I ordered the large and medium since I wasn't sure about the sizing...keeping the large...medium gone back...not a bad way to do it image
  • Thanks steve. Wasn't sure if we could do returns/exchanges with the team discount.
  • Does anyone have the DeSoto discount code? I searched the forums and the Wiki to no avail.
    Thanks.
  • Jim,
    You should have received an email from DeSoto directly in late August.
  • Shawn, I think you should be medium comfortably. I am 5'9", 152lbs, waist 28-29in,  fit small, have 2008 400mile shorts in size medium, they are too big but can wear them. I have forza riviera small, and 2010 400mile shorts small as well. I think you are safe with medium.

  • I looked on my 3 computers for an email from Emilio DeSoto about the team discount. No luck. I even looked in my Junk Mail box. Any thoughts?
  • I bugged RnP about the discount since the email went out just before I joined, and I want to order some tribibs and other stuff. Rich was going to follow up with Emilio on the discount so hopefully there will be another email with the discount shortly.
