Jersey XXL too small
Yeah, that's right
Jersey XXL too small
Anyone else??
Is there a bigger size (and I have just lost 15 pounds!!)
Those Europeans must be mighty small!!
I also do a lot of weight lifting, and my top is pretty well developed, under the layer of fat
My wife say it might fit her!!

Damn Jerseys! I bought a XL Bianchi Jersey and it didnt fit. At the time i only weighed about 165, i guess they are made for people with smaller shoulders and small arms. Weight lifting and road cycling were always clashing for me so i switched to MTB so i dont have to always wear spandex hehe.

European sizes are often very small, especially cycling stuff. It's made for skinny guys like Gilberto Simoni.
I have the same problem; a lot of women's cycling clothing is made for skinny women with no bosoms, but I'm not exactly a big person- I'd be a medium in most sizes. Hind clothing, for example, is sized VERY small- the largest size (going by their charts) are too small for me. Nothing like that to make one feel like a moose. It's just that some stuff is made very small. Others are better, like MEC- their stuff is made for human beings! European stuff, forget it.

Take a look at Performance. I've seen some jerseys up to 4x (although I can't remember which ones they were).

I wear a 2X usually myself and I haven't bought a bike shirt but haven't really looked for one yet. Is an XX for 48-50 or 50-52 inches in a bike shirt?

So, I guess that will be the end of it.
Normally, a XXL fits me just fine - the Performance or Nashbar are just fine.

Joe, Could you not get a mountain bike jerset designed. They fit larger due to the armour need underneath?

The European women must have small breasts, because my jersey was too small too. It fits my husband, but he doesn't have cantalopes underneath his shirt. I would keep it, but he doesn't wear the jerseys. I am at a loss.....
By the way, I love the way it looks!!!! Totally cool, but I am sad because it is too tight, unless I leave it unzipped.....
