Bib shorts for big men

[Mikesa9]

Hi All.

 

I want to treat myself to good quality bib shorts. My budget is around R2k to R3k.

 

My problem is that I am battling to get my size. I'm 195cm and weigh 110kg. The Assos brand's 3XL is way to small for me and Craft are also far to small.

Can anyone guide me on what brand that is high end sells larger sizes. I currently use local brands such as First Ascent that fit me fine, but I would like to get something a bit better.

 

Thanks in advance.

You don't have to spend R2k or more on clothes wear....

 

I was a rugby player who is 1.88 (6 feet 2) with a chest of 138cm and weight 130kg (was 140kg but recently dropped weight nicely). Also struggled to find clothes that fit me but in the end found one brand that worked for me: First Ascent.

 

They are a local business (Cape Town) and supply their range of clothes to all bike and sport shops. Just ask a representative of every bike shop in your area to order XXXL items from First Ascent. You can then in your leisure time try and fit each item at the bike shop.

 

I, for example, got the following items from FirstAscent that fit me easily:

tops: Men's Thunder Jersey (R549)

shorts: Men's 8 Panel Domestique (R599)

bib: Men's Endurance Bib (R799)

jacket: Men's Magneeto (R949)

 

I have found that specialised clothes, with fancy label names (mostly overseas brands, or those with high reputation bike names) usually does not fit or they don't make it for big people because they work with international size standards where the average international male are sized / shaped like Lance Armstrong: skinny and tall / short. None of those "high brands" fits the average SA male, who is bigger than the international average size.
