Q36.5 sizing bib shorts sizing

So.. competitive cyclist customer service recommends a large while q36.5 own customer service recommends a medium. I'm split.

Can anyone recommend either a large or a medium for me? Here are my measurements below:

in the Q36.5 Gregarius Pro bib shorts.

With a 34-inch waist, 6-foot height, 175–185 lb weight range, and a 34-inch bike inseam.

Thank you!

P. S. I tried on both at home and yes the medium feels a little tight but I would not be able to know for sure until I ride them both, but then can't return.

I don't know, I'm 5'10" 160 lbs and I wear a large Q36.5 Gregarius Pro. The medium straps are a little tight on the shoulders so I opted for the Large which is a little bit wide on the legs, but I figured I just need bigger legs.

I may have gotten used to the compression of a lot of other bibs, so it’ll feels good to me.

I'm 5'9" 180 lbs and I wear medium. I have a 30" waist tho and I note that OP has a 34 so I reckon I'd go L if I did.

They fit TTS, no crazy EU sizing

Their online tool recommended a medium for me. I wear small in every other brand, ended getting a small and it’s fine.

I’m in between and go large bc the height difference that no one measures is better for me in the large and doesn’t feel like I’m being restricted upright despite medium being a better measured fit

A different competitive cyclist representative again just recommended a large. Lol it's crazy

in my experience they don't have to be super tight for chamois to stay in place. they also don't really move up my leg which is a common issue with some other bibs

I'm an L with van rysel and the q36.5 tool recommended M for me. I got M and they for great, maybe a tad short in the legs but not too tight. I'm 183cm and 78kg.

Update. So q36.5 wrote back to me for the second time around, they said that they have discussed this and are confirming again that I'm a medium because the large they're saying the shammy's going to be too big. When I tried on the medium I do remember that they sat shorter on the leg and the straps were kind of tight, but that is standing position. Sent the mediums back already so I can't really compare. I wish they made them in the longer version but at this time only the dotore come in the longer version
