Chapeau! Size Guide
As a UK company, Chapeau's sizing is fairly true to UK body shapes. It is cut for road riding, though, so bear in mind that if you like your cycling kit to be less than figure hugging you should choose a size up.
If you are still unsure, feel free to contact us.

Fitting Advice for Chapeau bibs - To make sure your bibs are right for you, you want them to fit tighter rather than looser. This will help the pad stay in the correct position when pedalling and allow the 'compression' qualities of the fabric to work properly.
Chapeau suggest you compare these flat measurements to a comparable piece of kit that you know fits you well, and select your size on that basis.

We admired Chapeau! from afar for years before finally consummating our relationship and finding a loving way to offer our customers their beautiful kit.
Based in Exeter, they are a truly British team - something that reflects in their designs as well as their attention to technical detail.
So what kind of folk are they? We think they hit a great balance between a true passion for cycling and a refusal to take it (or themselves) too seriously. They hate cycling stereotypes, love cake, hate cycling snobbery, love inclusivity. They respect cyclists of all types, look after their bikes and kit like their own children, and truly want to share their passion with others.
In short, they're our kind of people. And the proof couldn't be clearer: 'Chapeau!', in case you weren't aware, is French for 'hat', and is the traditional cycling parlance to pay tribute to a fellow cyclist's efforts.
We say 'Chapeau!' to them.
We aim to dispatch all orders within 2-3 working days, often sooner. Within the UK we use Royal Mail's Tracked 48 service - you will receive a tracking code with your order.
Next Day Delivery (guaranteed by 12pm with Royal Mail) is available on some products when ordered before 1pm. This option will be shown next to the specific product when available.
