Altura Jacket Sizing

Probably safer to try it on somewhere. I am 44 chest and have to go for XXL
for cycling stuff in general. I have tried Altura Nevis and found that to be
tight under the arms and the Altura Stream Windproof jacket which was OK.
Both were XXL.

I have a GORE Stream XXL which is fine so the sizes vary widely within and
across manufacturers. I guess there are no large Italian cyclists as the
Italian stuff seems to come up ridiculously small!

Hope this helps a little.

Cheers,
Dave

Merlin have got the Altura dalby jacket on sale for 30 notes, so I was
going to buy one. Does anyone know how their sizing goes? I've got a Gill
jacket that is a Large, which is a little loose, but not too bad. Wiggle
have their jacket sizing for Large as being 40"-42", with Gill as 41"-43",
so I suspect the Large will be about right for me, but a word from SWK
would be handy.

TIA

if it is anything like the Nevis, large is LARGE; I am a 40-42 and fit
the M ok, depends on your shoulders.

Mario Cipollini doesn't look that small!
