I want to by a R2P jacket but I'm hesitating between 2 sizes.
BTW, I'm 1,78m, 96 kg, pretty wide shoulders and no belly (just lovehandles!). I already have the santiago pants (size 54) that fits me well.

The R2P jacket size 56 fits me well at the waist but is a bit too tight at the shoulders. Nothing I could not live with, especially when the line is not in. When I put the liner, I don't have room for more than a long sleeve tshirt and, as I said, the shoulders are tight. Without the liner, the fit is good and more comfy, as long long as I wear a light t-shirt.

On the other hand, the 58 fits me better (more room, more confy) at the shoulders. But you can imagine that it is more baggy at the waist. Actually, the 58 fits me well with the liner in but when I take it off, it is a bit roomy.

I would like to ask R2P owners what they think of that situation based on their experience with the jacket. Is it better to choose a tighter fit or to have more room (looser fit)? Do you ride most of the time with or without the liner?

Going through the treads, I saw pictures of guys that have chosen a smaller fit and others a more roomy fit... Did some of you regret their sizing choice (should have taken the smaller or the bigger size?)

Thanks for you help and advise
 
Buy the bigger one. These jackets are not the warmest available so you will want the liner in and enough room for a decent fleece.
 
As per Den and Kahuna say - R2P not the warmest and you will need extra layers :thumb
 
I had the same problem...one too small, the other slightly too big.

I went for the larger one.....and as has been said, they are not very warm so the liner will hardly ever be taken out, and more likely that a jumper would be worn underneath....I certainly wouldn't rely on just a T-shirt underneath!

....I'd also seriously concider the Rev'it Cayenne Pro too....seems better made and cheaper :bounce1
