Here's a (belated) take on a La Passione set I bought a year ago (rider 82 kg / 187 cm):
Windproof Gilet XXL
Prestige Lightweight Bib Shorts XXL
PSN Socks Lake XL/XXL
Vibes Jersey XXL
Isn't that all too large?
I'm 186cm and 72-74 kg and have M in all La Passione upper body stuff (jerseys, jackets, gilet) and L in bibtights and bibshorts

Jersey is a bit on the loose side (not flapping though) but bibs are tight. Then again, a 55-y rider wouldn't look as good in a tight-fit jersey as some younger gun.

Is La Passione going under? All they've got left for sale are just some odd sizes (in bib shorts at least) in a handful of models and colours. Personally, I'm bummed as their pads were the best for my anatomy, I've been pulling their pairs from the drawer over Assos and other brands... :/

One comment kinda nailed it, they are launching "gravel" clothing line and goofy clothing lines that would never sell. They probably went overboard and it didn't sail... Shame because their stuff was top tier!

And probably te Movistar sponsoring was a bit to much for such a niche small brand...

It's over and out. So sad.
From their website:
La Passione closes its online store at the end of 2024. Stay with us to discover what the future holds.

Sad, but then again.. they had a difficult position..just below the haute couture brands (maap,.etc) and just above mainstream.
I have some La Passione clothes. And it reflects their position if you ask me; better than usual but just not 100% 'right'. When buying new stuff, I often decide to spend just a little more to get better fit and quality.
I loved their autumn gloves and was hoping to replace them..
They call me the Campagnolo whisperer
Fuctor Ostro - Campy SRS WRL (upcoming)
Cube Aerium C68x - Campy EPS SR 12SP/P2M NG
Ridley R12 - Campy EPS Record 11sp/P2M NGEco
Thrust - Campy mix mechanical/P2M NGEco

La Passione was my favorite. Better quality than Rapha at cheaper prices. And not as obnoxious as PNS or MAAP. Sucks to see them close.
