Ok, I need URGENT clothing help
The triathlon shorts I ordered from Performance Bike DO NOT FIT! And XXL is their biggest size. Anyone know of a place that makes larger Triathlon shorts?
For those who don't know, Tri shorts are bike shorts with a thinner pad and made of materials designed to drop the water from the swim a little faster.
Will consider a 1 piece if it isnt incredibly expensive, or a top and bottom set.
10 days til race day.

Some of the clydes have posted very positive reviews on their cycling shorts. No data on the tri shorts.
Sizes to 5XL.
If you go w/ Aerotech, please post a review of you experience w/ their tri shorts.
Best of luck!!!

I went with the 2X AND 3X, and whichever I don't use, I'll just send back for refund.

Spiffy - good point. I think Im in the upper end of the 2XL, but I wanted to be safe. If Im in the 3X, I might keep the 2X. If Im in the 2X, the 3X goes back FOR SURE!

I wear shorts at my hips, so I'll be glad to share that size. I'll get my waist measurement, but unsure how comfy I am with sharing that one LOL.

I make 3X and 4X but they are not triathlon specific. They have what I would consider a medium thickness multidensity pad.
You can check them out at our site if interested (link is below).

The Aerotech stuff fits pretty good and is pretty close to the sizing. I find it a little bigger. I will check your stuff out as well Dan.

I wear size 44 waist, and I wear them at my hips. even with my past couple of weeks of not following my food program very well, I still need a belt to keep them on (for a big guy, I dont have much of a butt!) I would imagine my belly measurement exceeds this by a good bit.

Good luck and keep at it.
