    Which brand does the largest wet weather gear sizes?

    As usual I'm having trouble finding gear that fits, I went to cycletreads and motomail and none of the gear they had would fit over my leathers, way to tight around the shoulders

    What brand does the largest sizing?

    Hiya. Not sure about the brands sorry....but perhaps also check out the tramping and sailing outlets?
    Assuming tho - you are talking about wet weather overs - ie safety gear underneath.

    Depends how big you are but Warehouse have some cheap PVC weather gear in fairly big sizes, I've got some 2XL pants that easily go over my leathers. Not tried the jackets but think they go up to 3XL. Cheap as chips to.

    I hear that,coming up 40 years on 2 wheels the best waterproof pants ive ever had came as a pair of $10 pullovers from the Warehouseall the money ive spent on supposed waterproof stuff was merely a waste.

    i'm having the same problem as well. I'm using the PVC pants I got from NZSafety a few years ago for waterproof cover, but I would like to trade up to some pants with some safety protection. In an ideal situation, they would go over the top of my jeans, but I'm starting to think I may need to settle, which is not really that enticing due to the cost.

    I wear a 117cm jeans normally. Any suggestions where I can find something that can fit? I don't mind buying from an international website.

    117cm? Try a sailmakers factory?

    Hehehe, jokes.
    Seriously, PVC or waterproof outers should be worn over some decent armour/leahter protection. If your wanting to be waterprrofed only, and not crash protected (somewhat), then virtually Any wet weather gear would do yeah? The less seams the better.....sailing gear works well.
