You say that they're designed for incredible fit but how can that be possible when there are only three size variations? People come in more than three sizes, after all. And are these available in women's sizes at all?

Hi Kluny,

We currently offer in only 3 sizes and are releasing larger sizes soon.

There are only 3 size variations given the type of fabric and construction. For example, the size S fits a 165cm tall guy with a size 29 waist and ALSO fits me (177m, 70kg and a size 33 waist). The material is a 220gsm nylon based lycra with 18% elastane.

Its absolutely perfect for fitting a wide range of body sizes and we complemented it with a detailed look at 10 key dimensions which make up the sizes, allowing us to fit 90% of cyclists.

Of course, there will be odd sized person who requires a larger or a small size. We are working very hard on sizing for these types of people and are close to perfecting them. It takes time to gather a variety of people, measure them, make prototypes and test.

Its also very expensive for a small company, so we chose to focus on 3 key sizes for now.
