The cycling brands Sierra carries are never American sizing. I like Sierra, but
they get the 'usual suspects' and a clyde is never getting into that.
You know what would be cool? If we had a database of brands on how their sizing ran.
Of course, not all brands are consistent. But there are trends. Pearl Izumi does have some 2X stuff I
can use. So does Beans. I think the Beans cycling jersey runs a bit large. If you don't have a big gut you can get away with an XL> I have never seen a soft shell that was larger than a XL even if the label said 2X.
The Euro brands run a few sizes small. Giordana runs a couple sizes small. Ibex runs a size small. Sugoi shirts run a size or two small, but I have a 2x
cycling pant by them which fits and is fantastic. Velowear runs small. I have a couple of their 2X jerseys I liked too much to
send back. Maybe someday I can wear them. Some of the Smartwool 2X base layers work, but others are a bit small and short.

Yes. This is a heavier spandex. i am so used to the regular spandex fitting skin tight that I am not sure how it should fit. It feels good to have something that actually fits.
We call it my super suit. All I need is a cape. (but Edna says "No Cape")

Shame this thread went by the wayside... I have three 3XL aerotech bibs, all less than six months old. Maybe 800 miles on them. Well washed and taken care of. Willing to trade or sell.

I am not selling this stuff - I want to give it away... I have closets full of cycling jerseys. The women's stuff is 1X - 2X and the men's mostly XL - XXL. If anyone is seriously interested, let me know. I will go through and clean out what I have and try and post some of the jerseys. I also have some Nema mountain bike shorts - brand new never worn. XL but are fairly small (I could never fit my fat arse in them). I really need to clean out my closet. I keep buying new stuff but not getting rid of the old!

Can anyone recommend a maker of men's baggy bike shorts in a waist size 44? I have a pair of Novara XXLs that pretty much fit, but the poor button design means it pops open when I'm in a riding posture. I use bib shorts now (and love em) but I'd like to ride sporting a little less spandex. TIA.

I bought a pair of cannondale baggy shorts that have been great, you can cut out the inner liner with the chamois and use the baggy shorts with other other lycra shorts.
these: https://www.cannondale.com/a_a/clothi...ml#mens_shorts
Seems Sierra has some on sale as well.
