Search would help you. Got to be 100 threads on this and all the same 4 or 5 answers as usual.

You might take a look at the free clyde jerseys sticky thread.

I'll second the recommendation for AeroTech. I was on a ride with another guy similarly sized as myself. We got to talking about jerseys. He mentioned Aerotech. I ordered a couple and I'm super happy with them. I would order more but I'm trying to get down to a smaller size.

Don't bother with cycling gear. I wear compression shorts under normal cargo shorts and poly button down "fishing" shirts from sporting stores. I find the loose fitting shirts way cooler in the Texas heat than bike jerseys and no one looks at you like you're an alien when you make stops along the ride.

Mr Thylacine

Watch for Aldi's sport & cycling specials and stock up, that's what I do. Not the most trendy gear but it's long lasting, I always buy a couple of sets and always ride with their compression gear under my kicks and sport shirt!

Totally personal preference, but I prefer just normal moisture wicking/athletic t-shirts myself. (Along with skateboard shorts, athletic boxer briefs and flat soled shoes.)

...Really, it probably looks like I'd jump on a skateboard versus a bike...

I've dropped quite a bit of weight so when I do go on group rides wearing a jersey is at least a lot less intimidating. (Still rocking the skateboard shorts though...)

You can't go wrong with Aerotech. I have ordered several things from them and have had no problem. I recently bought one of their bottoms with the side pockets and not sure why this has not caught on. Can't even tell you have pockets but they are easier to hold a phone or some gels. These are road shorts and not mountain bike shorts too. They fit right out of the box true to sizing.

Aerotech is good, I also like primal if you can find it in the larger sizes.... they have some in "big people" sizing.

for bibs I love the Pearl I, and the specialized stuff fits me well even as a clyde.

I am about the same size... I wear Primal or Suarez 5xl jerseys, could maybe where 4xl, as far as shorts I only wear Pearl Izume 2xl bibs for most rides, some other cheap 2xl shorts for indoor short rides. As far as jerseys try Love2Pedal, they have larger sizes, quality gear and good prices, PLUS they are a forums member here. https://www.love2pedal.com/mens-cycl...snf=1&Size=5XL

Pardon my asking, but what size shoes do you wear? I am struggling to find shoe covers for my size 15 feet.

Tough without trying them on but I believe in Shimano 51 should be a 15US... Not sure on Shimano shoes on width... here is an example https://www.nashbar.com/shimano-shrp...82460?v=875823

I have shoes (Shimano's actually, but need wide so use a SPD shoe for both road and gravel), but looking for covers for winter,
