Understanding Our Fit Types

Skin / Aero Fit

Close to the Body

Designed to lay flush against the skin for minimal drag. Feels tight pulling on — disappears on the bike. Intentionally form-fitting.

Athletic Fit

Fitted but Comfortable

Close without restricting. The standard for most Montu bibshorts and jerseys. Fast enough for racing, comfortable enough for all-day rides.

Relaxed / Trail Fit

Loose and Unrestricted

For MTB, casual riding, and off-bike wear. More coverage, more freedom of movement.

How to Measure Yourself

A

Chest

Around the fullest part of your chest, tape horizontal. Breathe normally — don't flex.

B

Waist

Around your natural waistline, roughly an inch above the navel. Snug but not tight.

C

Hips

Around the fullest part of your hips and seat, 7–9 inches below your natural waist.

D

Inseam

From the crotch seam to the floor along the inside of your leg. Stand straight, feet slightly apart.
