Hi, in struggling to find road jerseys to fit my larger than average frame. Ive tried a few xxls in short sleeved tops and they were too small. Has anyone encountered the same problem and found some larger fitting brands/jerseys?

    Be really careful with Prendas, they may say xxxxl but more often than not they are made by Italian companies like Santini, so xxxxl will be like a 42" chest.
    I bought one a year ago as ive got a big chest, was supposed to be a 52" inch top, but once i put it on i quickly realised their definition of xxxxl or 52" was completely different to the rest of the world and looked like a boob-tube on me.

    I would look at Tenn Sport, available on Amazon and have proper big sizes and a varuety of clothing.

    Pearl Izumi in XXL and look for those labelled as semi-form fit. I'm about a 46-48" chest and they fit me perfectly

    Well I'm a 44" chest and Santini jerseys in XXL fit me fine - XXXXL would be like a tent on me.
    Road jerseys aren't meant to be a baggy MTB type fit.
