looking for a windproof gilet in a large size, and drawing blanks.
any help locating one would be greatly appreciated.
and not fat lad at the back stuff please. tried one.
blikin perfect mate............. cheers.
I can't guarantee it will fit but as it looks relaxed road in style, I hope it's okay.
I've just got an Endura Windchill gilet in XXL - I'm only 43" chest 🤦♂️
I'm normally an XXL in most, but ALtura stuff comes up quite big. XL jacket fits me well.
i am a 53'' chest now with a 40'' waist.
ordered a FLAB gilet in a 53, it didnt fit (to tight ) and the bigger stuff from them is ok if you are big chested and big round the middle. i am not.
Gonso again (I think I recommended them last time you were looking for some big stuff)
I have a sintra softshell gillet from them that is ace, but is a bit too bulky for going in a jersey pocket, the blosko is the packable one that can go in a jersey pocket.

Ton the Goretex windstopper is fantastic, worth checking it out.
This any good? I have one and it's pretty warm. Certainly covers your chest size https://www.provizsports.com/en-gb/reflect360-mens-cycling-gilet.html
This one is good:

and there lies the danger of just going off 3xl without reading the size chart.

too true mare.
this is the stupid problem with clothes sizing.
when has a bloody 44' chest been XXXL.
and others are a 53' for a XXXL
Not sure if they are still available but I've a Rab Vapour Gilet that should be OK - I'm about the same size and the XXL is fine on me
I'm a similar size and (if you can find them), Dare2Be jackets and gilets in 4xl fit very well.
I have two and both have room to spare without being overly baggy.
Polaris stuff is ok in their largest sizing if nothing else is out there, although I find it a bit embarrassingly snug when bent over in a seated riding position.
