Spongefinger Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 This is a call to the larger riders out there. What jackets are you wearing that fit well ? I'm 6ft and 19st a lot of that weight on my gut. I've tried a couple of jackets on but once I find one that fits my stomach the rest is just too big, baggy, long arms and armor not where it should be and the jacket is long and looks odd. I'm hoping to get along to the new Superbikeshop soon but wondered before hand if there are any makes that people recommend. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastbob Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 It was being told by a salesman in bikers world that I " Nothing in here is going to fit you " that inspired me to join Slimming World and lose 9 stone . Admittedly that was some time ago and I have put most of it back on again but it can be done . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Westerly Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 I think Halvarssons make jackets which cater to the more rotund rider as well as standard sizes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It aint cheap though! I believe biggest Klim retailer in the UK is Motolegends in Guildford. They have a price match guarantee and provide very good service. Klim is pricey stuff though. 2k for a suit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Working Class Hero Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 (edited) I'm not the most... petite rider myself and I just replaced all my kit with RST gear. All fits very good. I will probably look like a RST billboard, but so be it Edited April 21, 2022 by Working Class Hero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve_M Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 Have a word with Kate at Hideout… made to measure may be the way to go (requires deep pockets, mind). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
