Where to buy small bib shorts?

[Calvin27]

Hi all,

I am looking to buy some bib shorts for my fiancé. Problem is I have no idea where to buy them as she is a small girl about 164cm and quite thin. I've tried the usual wiggle and c r c but it looks like they only have sizes down to 8 which is too big. I've also tried looking at kids stuff but can't see much.

Any help / links appreciated!

Cheers.

I'm surprised XS wouldn't fit as she's a reasonable height... What's her weight?

The teameostrogen forums might have some good pointers

I'm surprised 8 is too small, cos 164cm isn't small in my world. Maybe have a look at Sugoi RSE bibs if you can find them, Assos (any) or Skins C200.

Rapha also seems to run smaller sizes for their women range.

Of course it's priced in the premium range but if you wait for the sales or check out the clearance section, there seems to be some good bargain and sizes...compare to the men range anyway lol.

Thanks all, I will have a look.

I think I am getting confused with UK sizes though.

So is a UK size 8 is equivalent to size 8 here as well? If so it's too big. I assume we use the old US sizing system - not their 00 size.

Engineering conversion chart, hmm. I found an online chart that shows Australian 8 as a US 4 or UK 6. Use the garment size charts Luke. It varies with brand, cut (race or club) and even fabric. And yes, Rapha runs skinny like Assos. If she's not smaller than an Aussie 8, you have lots of options. I only know of 00 as onesies for newborns sorry.

Size 8 in Aust vary from being just right to a bit big on me.

I wear XS Rapha and S in Assos. There's an XS in Assos

My wifey is generally a size 8 in AUS...the Assos small size fits like a glove for her..

Oh and she's 160cm

I'm an XS in Assos at 158cm and 47kgs... I'm a Aussie size 6-8 in normal pants ie jeans, shorts etc depending on fit.

Most of the online stores ie wiggle, Evans cycles etc sell Assos.
