Nalini Italian Cycling Apparel Sizing & Fit Guide

📏

How to Measure (Naked Body): Keep the tape measure level and snug against the skin without pulling tight. Chest — measure around the fullest circumference under armpits. Waist — measure at your natural waistline above hips. Hip — measure around the fullest point of hips and glutes. Inseam — vertical distance from crotch down to ankle bone.

💡

Authentic Italian Race Cut: Nalini apparel is designed and crafted in Castel d'Ario, Italy for an aerodynamic, second-skin fit on the bike. If your measurements are on the upper border of a size, or if you prefer a comfortable club/endurance fit rather than an aggressive race fit, we strongly recommend ordering ONE SIZE UP.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are padded cycling shorts good for, and do I really need them?

Padded cycling shorts, also known as cycling shorts with chamois, are excellent for enhancing comfort and reducing saddle soreness on any ride. The chamois provides cushioning, reduces friction, and wicks moisture. If you plan on riding for more than 30 minutes, or experience discomfort, they are highly recommended.

What's the difference between men's bib shorts and regular cycling shorts?

The main difference between bib shorts and cycling shorts is that men's bib shorts have suspender-like straps that go over the shoulders, while regular cycling shorts have a traditional elastic waistband. Many cyclists find bibs offer superior comfort and stability as they prevent the shorts from slipping and the chamois from shifting. Here's a much deeper dive into the debate of bibs vs shorts if you want to learn more.

Are bib shorts more comfortable than regular cycling shorts?

Many cyclists find men's bib shorts significantly more comfortable, especially for longer distances. The absence of a waistband reduces pressure on the abdomen, and the straps keep the cycling shorts with chamois perfectly in place, minimizing chafing. This often makes them the best choice for long rides.

How should men's bib shorts fit?

Men's bib shorts should fit snugly, like a second skin, without constricting movement. The straps should be comfortable on your shoulders, not too tight or too loose. The chamois should sit securely against your body.

Can cycling shorts help prevent saddle sores?

Yes, quality padded cycling shorts are designed to significantly help prevent saddle sores. The chamois reduces friction between your body and the saddle, wicks away moisture, and provides cushioning, all of which contribute to preventing skin irritation and sores.

Should I wear underwear with padded cycling shorts or bib shorts?

No, you should not wear underwear with padded cycling shorts or bib shorts. The chamois is designed to be worn directly against the skin for optimal moisture-wicking and chafe prevention. Underwear adds seams and traps moisture, which can lead to discomfort.
