I'm currently 5'11" and 185 lbs. I've been struggling to drop weight for as long as I can remember. For bibs I comfortably wear size L in Gore, Assos, and Castelli (though Castelli definitely has the tightest fit). Last year I also wore Castelli size L jerseys comfortably but not from their race-fit line.
I still need to lose a few pounds before summer but I'd like to get some new gear for my vacation in three weeks. Ideally I'm looking for brands that fit well now but won't become too saggy if I lose around 10 Ibs. I tried the Assos Mille GTS C2 in size L last year at this weight, and it was definitely too small…
Any recommendations on what to try? Picture is from last summer wearing Castelli L.

Def not MAAP but you should try on some Rapha some Ornot and Eliel. Craft base layers and Assos bibs. Hubby is 6ft 1 200lbs and that’s the bulk of his gear.
I got him an xl MAAP jersey as a gift it was so small our cat could wear it.
I am 5‘11“ and approx 185lb as well (83kg) I started with Rapha core in L for Bibs and Jerseys. Now I’m starting to wear jerseys in M also from MAAP. Maybe because I’m more used to the tight fit. Bibs I still mostly prefer L because I have quite large thighs. So I would assume L should fit you just fine.
