Rapha - MAAP - PNS Sizing Equivalents
Moderators: robbosmans, Moderator Team
Last time I asked around about Rapha to MAAP sizing and the advice I got my spot on - MAAP tends to be one size up in comparison.
Now I'm considering PNS, the brand, not the anatomy
If you're a medium in Rapha, large in MAAP, what would you be in Pas Normal?
I'm aware that different ranges and even pieces are sized differently in Rapha and MAAP, but generally, with Rapha I'm a medium and large fits 'better'.
That's for both bibs and jerseys. I do have a medium MAAP long sleeve training jersey that fits good, and a prime vest, (if a little short feeling) so not everything is so simple!

It’s not easy transitioning to another brand. Even within the same brand. Assos, MAAP, Rapha…all different depending upon type. MAAP medium for me, medium Rapha Pro Team. Assos was medium all the way but lately, had to go small.
Ordering overseas like with Endless or La Passione, returns tend to cost quite a bit. Assos has been the best for returns and they recommend setting both sizes and return the one that doesn’t fit on their dime.

Thanks guys, that's helpful. Was thining I was safe going from M Rapha to L PNS but seems maybe not!
Urgh!
Urgh!
Massive PITA the sizing, and yes dealing with returns isn't ideal. Think I'll have to play this one safe and order a jersey in two sizes and see. Ordered in a pair of bibs in large tonight already (were on sale locally so worth trying).
If you're inbetween sizing...it will really boil down to which line within each brand. i.e. Rapha Pro Team Medium while Rapha Core in Small.Shrike wrote: ↑Sat Apr 23, 2022 7:05 pmThanks guys, that's helpful. Was thining I was safe going from M Rapha to L PNS but seems maybe not!

Awkwardly it turns out I’m between sizes and it’s more a matter of fit preference. Seem to like the Large jerseys better for length though.
On the Control range I tried I didn’t find their fits overly aggressive. Pretty sensible actually but maybe the mechanism stuff has less range. Might try some of that next, just not keen on the text on the ass. Maybe that’s something PNS buyers get used to or stop caring about. Maybe you even like it?
Took me years to get past the massive text on back and the PNS on bibs! Still not ready for the Essential and Mechanism on bum yet
