morvelo - sizings and qaulity
Discussion
I've got back into a road cycling (before the winter hits).
Watching to many rapha / Surrey hills insipred vlogs on YouTube I decided I needed a bit of new kit.....
Not wishing to buy more rapha kit (got a couple of jerseys, bibs and autumn gloves) I looked at morvelo.
I'm on the larger size (5.10ft @ 15st) and on reading the sizes come up racy I went for...... XXL..... Even on this my arms are too big (not really the worst problem..... Haha) but it's properly skinny round the middle! I'm a size L to XL in most other brands Castel/Rapha etc but to look like Mr Blobby in a XXL is just silly.
Quality seems ok.... Haven't ridden in it so don't know what it'll be like after a few washes....
So what's other people's experiences with Morvelo?

I really like Morvelo - both for road and MTB - and over the years I've aquired various combinations of shorts, 3/4 tights, L/S jerseys, S/S jerseys and LS LTB jerseys.
Their bib shorts especially are really comfy and their thermal L/S jerseys for spring/autumn I've found offered a great level of insulation/wind proofing. Looking forward to wearing that kit again soon!
Some of the designs can be a bit Marmite, but they do tend to discount the more outlandish ones in flash sales.
Size-wise I find that the fit is on the racey size, so maybe go a size larger than 'normal'. They've got a very fair returns policy and crash replacement discount, so give them a go.
