Calling all larger cyclists… where do you get your kit from?

[anonymous-user]

I need some bib shorts and outer shorts, but I’m not paying £100 each for the privilege (talking to you FLAB)!!

Any suggestions please folks?

Sounds like you're at one end of the bell curve, so finding decent bibs at reduced prices shouldn't be toooo bad.
Try the discounters first - Start Fitness, Sports Pursuit
Then the sale sections on your favourite sites - eg Merlin, Tredz
Lusso seem to do larger sizes than average and always get reviews which praise their performance vs price (I've got a 20+ year old long sleeve top from them which is still my favourite in winter!)

Jacamo!!

A fellow fatty cyclist. Decathlon is the place to go. They do up to 3XL. Best to order online though as the stores don't seem to hold a great deal of stock.

Decathlon, or Wiggle for DHB or Endura kit

Prendas Ciclismo appear to do up to 8xl in jerseys and 5xl in shorts. Really nice stuff and they do some lovely retro repro stuff.

Not got from there myself but Fat Lad at The Back? I've bought decent stuff from Lusso which had decent sizing.

I'd second this for Endura kit, shorts especially, as it's pretty hard wearing as well..

Trikot Express have some 5XL & 6 XL Nalini stuff which is good quality - not much of a range but 40% off at the moment -

- found them very good. They have a size chart.

I've found some Dutch club clothing on Ebay in sizes 7 8 & 9 at very low prices & it's been great. Look for 3xl or 4xl or the numbers.
The Dutch tend to be a lot taller & heavier than the Italians.....
Good luck & keep riding!

Thanks everyone. Never would have thought to look at Jacamo, so will do that, then a trip to Decathlon at the weekend I think.

Endura stuff was good quality at a reasonable price for me when I was 105KG. Decent fitting too.

Castelli is very small....

How big is big? At 6ft3 and 16 and a half stone Decathlon XXL stuff fits.

Have a look at the GCN store, their bib shorts are great value

I read the title as lager cyclists so opened the thread .
I don't have a bike .

Fat lad at the back?

[Fundoreen]

When a normal person (lol) buys something large and its still tight I can see the problem.
I think product sizing has been adjusted to salve egos of the tiny lol.

[Squadrone Rosso]

Fat lad at the back is excellent kit. Not cheap but great fit, comfort & quality.

Endura Humvee stuff

You dont need specific cycling tops



Cycling shorts do help though

Not large but taller. A 6’7” friend set up a clothing company for tall cyclists a while back, the kit is quite nice
