There's not that much clothing thats cycle specific for the larger person. Sure, some of you think that a
46inch chest for cyclists is enough, but for quite a few men, it isn't. So for the men and women, that
require larger clothes, I'm hoping this might be helpful.
AeroTechDesigns / eBay shop
Cycle-Clothing.co.uk / men (SPEG range) / women (CC.uk AERATE range)
Decathlon / larger cycle clothing / hiking clothes
**dhb Earnley Shorts **[http://www.wiggle.co.uk/p/cycle/7/dhb_Earnley_Cycling_Shorts/5360021258/]
Funkier / bigger sizes / Check around
Louis Garneau Clydesdale range
Prendas / practically all sizes
TrekWear / Ladies Waterproof / Ladies Jacket /
NOT Cycle Specfic but still good for cycling/touring/commuting
Keela International (superb all weather stuff!! - people go up Mt.Everest in Keela gear)
The retailer that truly caters for the really bigger sizes of cyclists is AeroTechDesigns. Unfortunately,
**.
they're only based in America, but they do have an excellent online presence. They also have an **eBay shop
I've read on here, and on other sites, that Decathlon do a range of larger cycle clothing sizes. They do,
but their better larger range, is their closely related hiking clothes. For tops, they are very good. Not
exactly cycle specific of course, so no longer rear, but designed for movement, comfort, wind and rain
protection, they are good.
Prendas do an excellent range of clothes, for practically all sizes. But I am wondering about their dearth of a
women's range? Weird, and for this peculiar managerial choice, I find them hard to recommend. They do
offer official cycle team styled clothing though, if that sort of thing floats your boat.
There is a relatively new range of cycle wear, called Funkier. Especially notable, because they're sold here,
and that their shorts range to bigger sizes than many others. Check around for cheaper deals.
For similar or alternative wear, there are a few retailers. I'll list two. First there is TrekWear, who offer
among others, Craghopper women's tops. This goes to a relatively large size.
Cycle-Clothing.co.uk is another. They also offer a good range for men (SPEG range) and women (CC.uk AERATE range)
but maybe not to the extent of AeroTechDesigns, but very adequate.
I had ignored these before, but dhb Earnley Shorts do go up to 3XL. [cheers CasaSteve]
