Hi I'm looking for some new jerseys but have a few issues with sizing as I'm on the bigger side of things.
I've got a 50" chest and long torso and have been struggling to find anything to fit me other than on Cycle Clothing Uk that's priced reasonably.

Can anyone recommend any sites or brands where I can find bigger sized jerseys at a reasonable price?

    I know Ulverston is in the sticks, but could you go to an actual shop (even if it's just to scout brands)?

    I have a Endura Hummvee top and though it's a mountain biking top it does the job. They do an XXL which is 47" to 50". Not sure on lenght but I am 6" 5" and mostly torso.

    I've been round the local shops, one does stock Altura stuff but they're a small retailer and don't have a great selection of sizes, I don't really want them to order stuff in for me that still might not fit and then have them with kit that they can't shift. The other local shop stocks Castelli, Endura and Pearl Izumi kit and I've tried all their larger stuff on and it's not got the right fit unfortunately.
    Will check out the other links though thanks, I'll have to trek out to Wheelbase as well because they're not too far away.

    Have you tried Top Mark? Dont know what they stock but could be worth giving them a ring.

    Theres a couple of shops in Ambleside and Kendal if you're heading out that way to Wheelbase.

    Yeah was in Top Mark the other day, they're the second shop I mentioned. Gill Cycles the first both great little bike shops in my opinion but don't always have a mass of stock.

    I've got the week off next week so thinking I might ride up through the lakes so could do some shopping while I'm out and about :lol:

    I always forget about them. I'll call in tomorrow and see what they've got.

    The budget stuff at Decathlon is good.
