edited August 2009 in Road buying advice
I would describe myself as very broad in the chest (52") and am seriously struggling to get anything that remotely fits me in terms of cycling tops.

I have tried XXL in most brands (Altura, PBK, Endura, Specialised, Adidas to name but a few but none are anywhere near wide enough). Is there any brand that anyone can recommend that do XXXl from a readily available source (Altura do for instance but getting hold of it is another matter).

Many thanks.

    dhb (Wiggles own brand) seem to be the most generous in terms of size and the Italian companies the tightest.

    I know that I wear an XL in Sugoi, L in Craft and M in dhb.

    Tired dhb and they are no different to any other make at my end of the size range.

    I just received a pearl izumi that I would call an extra-wide fit, def not a fit for me. not much flex in fabric though.

    Gore do some big 'Germanic' sizing. You could also look at Craft, again 'built' for Scandinavians
    Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..
