Cycling clothes for the larger bloke

chuckla

Anyone got any recommendations on cycling clothes for big men? I'm about 19 stone with a 48 - 50 inch chest and broad shoulders. I'm after a packable rain jacket. Tried a few makes xxxl but they are still to small! Same goes for bib shorts with a decent chamois, most don't go up to xxxl!

Don't know what they're like but might accommodate for your requirements?

Endura, Altura and DHB all do larger sizes. AeroTech do huge but they are in the States and takes a few weeks to come.

Unfortunately most cycling clothes are made for short very slim riders. To be fair there is a much wider range than there used to be and at over 6ft6 now I am fit I can find a reasonable range to choose from at about 15 stone 7.

Prendas do sizings up to 5XL in bibshorts.

Endura and altura are ok for winter gear, summer stuff they stop at XXL!

I'll check out the other stiff and report back! Tidy

I've found Gore & Pearl Izumi both come up large; I find 'large' fits me at 6'1" 48" chest whereas I'm about XXXXXXXXXL in anything Italian

+1 for Pearl Izumi. 99% sure it will fit at XXL. The joys of this size is that you can get some great bargains. Hewitt Cycles had some great Pearl Izumi bargains a couple of weeks ago.

One thing to add re Pearl Izumi. Avoid the Pro fit and stick to the elite or the select. Like you I am not built for the Pro cut

Although only 16 1/2 stone I also have 48" chest with wide shoulders. I wear Polaris jackets, short sleeve / winter weight & windproof and gilet.
I find they fit well wearing xl, and they also do xxl.
Tried a few other brands and even xxxl did not fit.

I get the feeling this is a thread designed to smoke out the fatties…..

Worth a look at some Mavic clothing too, seems to be very big sizing. I wear L in most brands,XL in some, and usually find M in Mavic is plenty big enough.
