I've probably got some bits for them, how do I get in touch?

That's a good question. Although I'm a member I'm not a very good member and was just going to take the trousers along to the next monthly meeting on the 5th of July. Below are a couple of links to the group and one of the organisers.

If you don't get any joy with the links let me know and we'll sort something else out.

And I'm skint enough to buy some bits from them ! Grateful for where and when I can find their stall.

I think i may have been a bit misunderstood I don't think it's like a regular market stall or pitch somewhere but rather a stall they erect at the local bike meets and events they go to.

When I go on the 5th I'll get more info so it might sound a little more as though I know what I'm talking about.

There was probably a discount code automatically applied.

I've just bought this Course jacket in XL.

The XLMOTO stuff. Will a XL fit a 103kg 187cm rider? Their fitment charge seems to think I will but does the stuff come up tight?

I've got a pair of Course cargo pants and boy they are tight on the legs!

Do you have big legs?

There's a pic a couple of pages back of me in a short leather jacket from them in XL, I'm 1.90 and about 96kg in that photo,

I'd say they're a little undersized, and 103kg might be a bit tight, unless every day is leg day at your gym.

Yay- XLMoto parcel arrived, I ordered the Norman jeans and the Boomer Jacket in my usual sizes. The jacket is a snug fit with a tshirt and jumper on and a little short for my monkey arms, but that is normally the case and It’s going to be a summer kit anyway.
The jeans are tapered fit and in the current stretchy trend of fairly tight fit. Those with more ample legs may look like you accidentally put your wife’s jeans on. All comfortable though. Hip protection isn’t massive knees feel a bit beefier.



Socks are model’s own.

Your jacket says 108cm chest and 94cm waist. Mime says 111-117 chest and 98-104cm waist both in XL. Fingers crossed it is 'loose fit'

You might be OK then, like you say, either fingers crossed or Pie ban

Or it goes in the wardrobe of clothes that 'i will wear one day'..

They discounted it accordingly to match the % of the helmet that's missing

Revisiting the XL Moto gear that someone kindly put a link up a while back - did anyone else buy the jeans and have found a cure or has noticed for/the velcro knee armour holder rubbing on your legs. I changed the knee armour over to ones in my other jeans but soon enough it's doing it again.

Decent enough jeans and maybe a simple cure but annoying more so when walking as riding my position doesn't change much.

I ended up just taking my knee pads out.

I did think of that but would prefer to have something there for the just in case event. Might try a big waterproof plaster over it and see if that helps and for what length of time.

I cut up a pair of old holed socks (with a bit of thickness to them) and used a couple of bits of stick on velcro far enough above and below the armour holder velcro so it's out of the pressure point zone, and bunged the old socks across the jeans velcro and I haven't had an issue since.

I’m wearing mine now and have been all day at work, but not sure what you speak of?

It curls back abit exposing the bristles side if you don't carefully overlap them before fitting and then carefully slip on
