Bib tights for the larger gent...

[Butty1972]

So, I am 5' 10" and 40" waist and am really struggling to find bib-tights which fit.
I did have a pair from DHB but they have developed a hole and wiggle no longer do them in xxxl.
Any recommendations from anyone? Apart from 'ditch the pies, fatty!' ?
Prendas do lovely larger sizes for their tops (I have a couple and they fit fabulously) but not in bib tights. Planet X do good-sized bib shorts but not tights it seems...

Anyone? Anyone?

(wispy waisted and limbed climber types try not to look smug in your xxxs castelli tights eh?)

Altura are quite generous in the midriff area , you can usually pick up a pair for about £30 , they can be a bit long in the legs when you go up the sizes btw.

I like the brand idea, but IMO the price is a little high for the quality of the kit. I have bib shorts & a top. The bibs have a fairly poor pad & are probably the least favorite shorts I own. The jersey is now a few inch too large on the chest, but the arms are still tight & ride up might be just me that's an odd shape though

I have the FLAB bib shorts and top, no complaints, do go a size up though as they are quite neat.
