How big are these relatively..? URGENT

[Dean12]

I found these 'Bargains' (I think..) on eBay,

I'm just struggling to workout the sizing of each because the numbers in the Adverts are so confusing!

Im 17 Years old, About 5ft10, 180lbs or so.. Would either of these be a decent fit for me? I think Im about 34 waist and 40 chest, Approx.

I'd normally advise you to go to a bike shop and try on some of the kit to get a good idea of what styles and sizes fit and what doesn't

The second one, the 40/50

Im guessing its Uk/Euro size. So it would be a 40inch chest.. just a guess though

They are advertised in the men's and women's section. Are they Male? The jacket looks like it has a feminine cut to me.

I could of course be totally wrong!

98 is 'just' over 38"
50 is around 40"

40 is a female size 12(ish)



Do a google search for UK to Euro clothing, should bring up a chart.

The Hein Gericke size guide (opens PDF) lists the size 98 jacket as 103-106cm (40"- 41.5") and the size 50 trousers as 87-90cm (34" - 35")

I'd hazzard a guess that the two-piece sized as 40-50 is a unisex womens 40 and mens 50 i.e. Medium - Large which I'd personally think too vague for buying on-line.
