Hi Jonny Jeez

I am looking as we speak, I would like a top as I think I look silly in a baggy t shirt! thanks for the link, I have found one on another site but it's bright yellow, you know what it's like I want slimming black!

thanks

Allan

If you can then order one size up from your requirement...but I guess you knew that.

Good luck

The thing is they only have up to one size below my requirement

In which case, perhaps try Decathlon

comes up in XXXl

or

I'd steer clear of the "road" specific tops of theirs as they are more Form Fitting.

also, in general terms, if you want a cycle specific top (ie one that has rear pockets and a drop rear section to cover your back as you bend) but want a lose fit/larger size, then maybe look at MTB shirts, they are always baggy or loose as opposed to a tight fitting road jersey.

If cycle specific shirts offer no advantage, then any shirt will do the job.

A couple of jersey's ordered and a quick afternoon 20 miles

A11an. Enjoy your cycling whatever you decide to wear. Oh, and don't buy too many xxxxl tops, as they'll be used for rags before very long anyway

Good luck.
