Football shirts won't stoop saddle soreness though. Baggy shorts over lycra perhaps

 

[Broughtonblue]

Yes sorry. I Wear padded shorts but not tight fitting tops...............yet

Watch DHB stuff. Their sizing on the Ride London gear was woefully out compared to their size charts.

Decathlon do a good range in larger sizes, I am slightly bigger round the chest than you and the same waist.

Im still not ready for lycra yet, another couple of stones to lose first. Dont want to look like that character from little britain! Football shirts for me for now

Friend of ours does the full lycra . Not so good with a rather large beer belly
Mind you, he couldn't care less. Bovvered. Him? Na!!

I know there are a few of us about, but I'm really struggling to find some decent kit for the more portlier gentleman.

I need some 50 inch chest jerseys and some 42 inch waist bib shorts - has anyone got any web links where you can buy such items?

Thanks!!

Have you tried Wiggle and the DHB range?

Acutally, Mountain Warehouse do XXXL stuff. It's not all pure cycling clothing, but I got a couple of good sports tops for cycling in. I always prefer men's tops to women's so I noticed they were doing them in larger sizes.

Hubby is 52" chest and 44" waist (ex body builder) he has got endura fs260 pro bib shorts in xxl and fit very well and his shirts are bontrager mtb in European 3xl he has also got the altura night vision evo (normal night vision no where near as big) I am also not small size 24 womens and I have pair of endura 3/4 length in xxl that fit well. Good luck x

I wish my large measurements were due to bodybuilding rather than stomach building!!

Ta for the advice!!

Foska do good sized tops too

I love foska gear but they only go up to XXL - 44 inch chest. Which is about my size.

 

[Raging Squirrel]

Foska freeride jerseys go to 3xl, about 50 inch chest I was told by a guy there on email

 

[Raging Squirrel]

They have some proper cool stuff, marmite one is brilliant haha

Ha, as a rapidly decreasing in size, big unit, all I would say is make sure your nads are well protected with the best padded Lycra you can afford, on top is all about vanity unless your are a tt or team rider! Yet to test this theory by wearing a dinner shirt and bowtie on a sportive! Will report wether I loose any seconds of my already very slow but enjoyable pace

 

[Mickthemove]

Should have said! I brought all my gel padded shorts off eBay when I was a 42 waist! And always wore and still wear two, now I am nudging 38 inch I can get most of the fancy dan kit on ! Only 6 stone away from being a full kit w@@@@ ! Didn't mean that! I actually quite like a lot of the really posh gear it's just I would look daft as a more rotund member of society
