Pro 1 race suit sizing

Tex013 · 02-05-2024, 04:52 PM

Morning all
rather than bring up an old thread .
How are Pro 1 race suits, particularly pants , for sizing ? Should I look at using jean size ? As I am here in Oz I'd rather try and get size correct first time . Biggest issue is I am a skinny guy, 135/137lbs , 5'10 1/2 . Looking at their website looks like Small/tall would work .
I need a new pair of pants and really like the velcro draw band/belt plus the light weight wont go astray in the heat here ,
I know Biondo does a lightweight Sparco but not sure if they are just stretch waist .
Any thoughts appreciated .

I would pick up the phone and call Jeff or Charlotte at Pro 1 . They will make sure you get what you need.

E.Vassar , thanks .
I have emailed Charlotte , but I am on the split as my jeans are 30" . Sizing is 26-30 or 30-32 . So if they run a little large , regular or small will matter.

I’m 6 foot and order the tall, if I ever order a new pair it will be the regular. The tall looks to be for 6.2 and above. My jeans are 36w 34L and the tall is still to long, hope this helps.

Herbie ,
thanks for the reply .
With your 36W jeans what waist size for the Pro1 ?

Tex, hardly anyone looks at where you are from when they say, "just pick up the phone". LOL Jeff answered a question about their belts yesterday on here and I'm surprised he didn't see this thread.

Curtis

Hi Tex,
Charlotte or Jeff reply quickly via facebook messenger or an email off their contact page. Send them your measurements, or maybe jean size, and they will take care of you.

Well I received my Pro 1 race pants . What a nice piece of kit . Real easy and nice company to deal with , as I am on the other side of the world . Pants are light and the waist adjustment is a terrific idea . Look forward to trying them the weekend of 9-10 @ Sunset Strip , should still be in the 90s then .
Thanks for all your input .
