Hi All

I wonder if anyone can help. Is there a shop that sells touring jackets for the fuller figured person. I have been to a couple of shops here n Wgtn, and they seem to stock 4XL as their largest size. I tried a 4XL dry rider brand on and I reckon that I need more lke 6XL. Has anyone had sucess in this area, or should i just stay away from mcDonalds for a couple of years and go back!:rofl:

Cheers

Dougie - there's a couple of guys on here you might want to speak to.

Each of them will be able to either assist, or point you in the direction of someone that can.

Welcome to KB (and yeah- the anti Macca approach is good for weight loss... but if you think of it as additional acceleration and top end speed it's a lot less... "stigmatising")

Dririder Nordic jackets go up to 6XL, but they are a smaller fitting.
Macna go to a 9XL (from memory)
Try your local shop or I can get some for you.

Just to update:

Emded up with a Dri-Rider. Very happy with it.

All it took was for a bike dealer to put some effort in. They had 3 jackets in store that fitted fine, and ended up ordering me one of my brand of choice and threw in an upgrade kit too!

Well done MOTOMART!
