Hello,

I was wondering if someone could help me with Pactimo sizing. I would like to order a NCC kit, but I have never tried on any Pactimo apparel. I am generally a size small in other brands (Castelli, Pearl Izumi, Velocio). I am pretty sure a small will work for the short sleeve jersey and shorts. I am considering buying the long sleeve wind jacket, but I have long arms and have trouble finding long sleeve jerseys that fit me. I am 5' 9" and 132 lbs with monkey arms. :) Is there someone with a similar build who could help me out? 

Thanks for your help,

Melissa

Hi, Melissa!  

I'm similar sized.  5'9"  and today was 135#   (I've been riding a lot.)

I wear 29x 32 jeans.  I have a long torso.  I find medium bibtop shorts fit my legs, and I wouldn't want any tighter, especially the straps over my shoulders.  Women usually have longer legs and wider hips.  I would guess medium's would fit you best.

I wear small tops for snug fit.

Hope this helps and that I'll see you in them on club rides soon!

Warm wishes,
Brad

From a male's perspective, if Castelli is a proper fit for you, Pactimo is a bit roomier. A Castelli male small for me is really small. It also depends whether you like a tight, no holds barred racing fit, or a snug, but not club style fit. Lots of variables. As for long sleeve arm length, Pactimo fits me well in that area. I have a 33" arm length and could wear a small but prefer a medium, not due to arm length.

Good luck,

Chris
