So, hypothetically speaking, obviously, if I knew someone who needed a 40"/42" waist set of baggies that didn't act as a guillotine when adopting a riding position - are there any out there?
Endura no big enough. Or Altura.
Ideally a four way flex fabric like the lovely but sadly now departed ones that wore out. Hypothetically.
What are other fatty's wearing?
Thanks.
What you seek are these:

I discovered these last year, my first pair are still going strong, no logo's falling off like some brands. Very generous size-wise.
If these don't fit, get a kilt 🙂

No

Convertible/zip off walking trousers
My mate is probably similar size to you fella - a big guy with some massive legs, ex pro rugby player. He had the same problem. He saw me on my road bike one time and bought a set of cheap bib longs on my recommend - I think Planet X ones (I'm not 100% sure on that - they were about £25-£30) and he just wears his rugby shorts over the top. Reckons it's more comfy than any standalone baggies he's tried and I quote "I don't look like one of them road biker types!" 😆
Just a thought if your struggling..... 8)
decathlon go up to 3xl, [s]you[/s] your friend will probably need 2xl [s]I[/s] my friend who's a similar size does
Good work with the tent Hammy. Prefer Outwell though...
Decathlon and Polaris then. My friend will be pleased!
Any othet suggestions (perhaps excluding a gastric band) welcome. Ta.
The Decathlon stuff is good for sizes and most places have them in stock up to the bigger sizes too.
Polaris I would try on if you can before buying just to make sure.
I agree about endura and altura, they come up very small, I used to wear XL when I was what I call thin.
I was a 40" waist once and Endura's XXL Hummer shorts fit. Now I'm a 36", the XL fits nicely. I know you said that Endura are no good for your mate, but the Hummers are cut quite generously; maybe more generously than their other lines?
pearl izumi xxl (maybe even a little too big). You can also get a bib liner for them which helps keep them in place those of us who are the wrong shape.
I have a 31" waist and have to wear XL Endura kit, they must have borrowed the models from Castelli or something. They're a bloody joke

I have a 31" waist and wear Medium Endura kit.
You can both s0d off with your 31" waists!

bollards, I've a 30" waist, and my small singletracks stay still if I twist around too fast...
XXL Scott baggies at Start Cycles may be worth a try at £15
Same here nickc - really odd sizing.
Altura Flexx shorts if you can find them. Buy a size down from what you normally wear.
I,m a 36" waist and have XXL Singletracks and they are slim
I've got 3/4 Humvees and they are XXL and they are baggy.
ENDURA Kit "I FIND" is all over the place,
Theres no way a 36" waist should be XXL.
I just got some Fox ones from CRC that will fit [s]you[/s] your fat mate. Ranger maybe?
Endura sizes vary a lot across designs.
The Zyme shorts and 3/4s are very roomy, good for up to 41" according to the size chart (although the same chart puts me in a small with a 34" waist so maybe not that accurate..)
I have some 2xl Madison shorts and they are a good fit, will be buying some more soon, seem like great quality for the money too!
38 inch waist for me, xl endure singletracks fit. Well sometimes they do sometimes they don't but then that could just be me 😯
Your tape measure must have stretched.
A lotI have a 31" waist and wear Medium Endura kit.
I'd post a pic of me in my large nightvision bibs, but you can see my arse crack in them, so i wont
Would that be your ALTURA Nightvision bibs?
Are you sure Altura XXL are not big enough.........I've got a 38" waist hand they're huge on me.
Xxl specialised shorts are a genuine 40" waist. Got some Atlas shorts for Xmas and they're really nice.
The Decathlon "700" range baggies are fully stretch material.
