BIGGGGGG clothing

[Large]

one thing I have noticed since becoming a more regular cyclist is the silly sizing of cycling apparel.

I have a 54" chest and a 52" waist, so finding clothes, partricularly for the top half, is not easy.

Anyone out there able to recommend where I might be able to get kit big enough so it doesn't scare the wildlife when I ride in it?

I have a pair of Santini 5XL bib shorts which are fine. I bought a replica La Vie Claire jersey in 6XL. Ha! Doesn't come near me.

I know whenever I go to Decathlon, there's usually an awful lot of stuff for the "fuller-figured" gentleman in the reduced to clear section, and some great deals to be had if it suits you size-wise (Bib shorts for example, reduced from £40 to around £12). I've definitely seen tags of at least 4XL in there, though I don't know what that equates to in terms of inches.

You could have a look at their website - decathlon.co.uk, but don't buy online unless you want to pay full price. Go to a store, because I guarantee they will have reduced stuff in there in the bigger sizes.
