I'm looking for some new shorts, I have plenty of liners as lycra is pretty stretchy but as for baggies I'm struggling. I used to have a few pairs of Hoss from the US but they've sold up. I also have a few pairs of Tenn Outdoors ones but they've stopped doing the stretchy blue and orange ones and just seem to have the heavier DH type material or cotton type ones.

So other big lads, where do you get yours...?

Lycra bibs, as God intended.

Like a burst couch, lad.

I'm all over the lycra bibs, just need more baggies to go over the top. Couldn't possibly turn up at EWS sporting lycra, they wouldn't let me ride.

I'm not skinny and find the Endura Singletrack II pretty good. Like all Endura stuff though the sizing can be odd so you may need to try different sizes. I tend to go a size larger than suggested by the charts but that does not always work.

And yes, I wear them over bibs

Plus 1 for Endura. Humvees will go up to a 42" waist. So I've heard, anyway. Ehem.

Obviously depending on your actual size but have a look at Dakine.

I'm not too bad on the waist, it's the thighs where I struggle, those denim numbers should avoid that though.... (pass the eye bleach)

+1 for polaris - roomier than Hummvees and plenty of leg length. Pretty hard wearing so far.

Troy lee shorts come up generous so worth a look if cost is not to much of an issue.
