Size Guide
Our R-EV1, PR-S collections run on the smaller side so if you are right on the border or between sizes, please order one size up.
The garments are designed to fit perfectly on the bike, we suggest assuming the bike position when you try them on.
Note: As Alé is an Italian brand we do find that most people size up one size from other local brands.

Guidelines for purchasing the correct shorts
When putting on the bib shorts, please ensure that the braces and the leg cuffs are properly positioned to avoid any creases. Once the shorts are on, they should provide a feeling of slight adherence and a snug fit.
To ensure the best fit, please wear the shorts for a few minutes while bending your legs in a cycling position. Try pinching the fabric in the thigh area; if the Lycra returns to its original position once released, the size is correct.
However, if you experience any uncomfortable rubbing or constriction, or if the seams and straps feel too tight, we recommend trying a larger size.
If you experience any unpleasant rubbing, constriction, or if the seams and straps feel too tight, I recommend trying a larger size.
Please note that Alé pads are designed to be worn directly against the skin without an intermediate layer. Because they are soft and comfortable, they do not require the use of creams.
Often, issues encountered with our garments are not due to the product itself, but rather an incorrect choice of size, model, or improper washing.
To ensure your shorts become your ideal training and competition partner, please follow these simple steps to find the right fit for you:
Please note that the braces, elastics, and the bottom of the leg may tend to roll up during wear. However, these can be easily adjusted with minor manual repositioning.
It is important that the Lycra remains very close to the body to function properly. This ensures it provides the intended muscle massage and slight compression effect.

TIPS FOR PURCHASING THE RIGHT BIB SHORTS
These easy steps will help you to find the right shorts, which will become your faithful training and racing companion. Put the shorts on and adjust the bibs and leg bottom so as to eliminate any folds; the shorts must feel tight once on. Leave the shorts on for a few minutes, bending your legs and assuming the bike position, then pinch the fabric in the thigh area and make sure that once you release the fabric, the Lycra returns to its original position: this means that you are wearing the correct size. If you experience an unpleasant sensation of friction or restriction, or if the stitching and bibs are pulling, try a bigger size. Our chamois are designed to be worn without chamois cream. Chamois creams may damage and reduce the lifespan of your bibshorts. The lycra is designed to confer a massaging and light compression effect on the muscles. It can only perform this function if it is fitted correctly.
