Found Some Cycling Pants
Believe me when I tell ya its not a pretty site if I get into a spandex cycling kit winter or summer. Summer is even worse when I start ta look like a Central Texas Sausage over the coals ready ta burst out all the grease I have stored over the past years.
So I stay with colorful Soccer Shirt tops just barely loose. For bottoms I use Track Running Pants to cover my Compression Stockings and my bike shorts. I tapper the lower legs to keep them outta the chain. Finding cool summer weight tack Pants has been a chore. Most are tight with little give in the crotch so they don't last long.
I recently found some light weight tapered running pants that fit (waist 44+) and are flexible to accommodate crotch/seat stress and my variances in weight gain/loss. They are of a stretch material that has a mesh that allows for good air circulation. For me I order Size 6X and that fits a 44+ waist. The site can be a little confusing for the order. The type I ordered was "net black Rib bottom, 6XL" that gave me the 44" plus waist. I used paypal and a few weeks later got the pants without difficulty. Here's the link...

Note: I receive no remuneration what so ever for this post. It is just increasingly hard to find Fat Guy clothing and this was in fact a welcome find...

I don't bother with cycling pants, I just wear shorts, but it took me ages to find a place that sells larger size stuff, in Australia. Apparently here it's okay to be oversized in you're female because there is at least 5 shops online referencing oversized women's cycling gear, but when I first looked there was nothing for men. When I say larger stuff I'm talking anything over 3XL and often 3XL isn't even available. In the end I found a decent place in the US which I was at the time reluctant to purchase from because post-covid postage from the US to Aus was terrible. But I ended up risking it and it turned out great. I have since found an Aussie company that sells the same tops and pants that the American company does, and I gave them a chance but they are nothing more than a drop shipper and ordering from the US site was actually faster and free postage.

ain't that the truth. I found a pair that fit me well, lost them & couldn't find a new pair, so I went hunting & got lucky to find a pre-owned pair, then found the original pair so now I have 2. they are so valuable to me. so much so, that when a dog bite ripped/broke 1 leg zipper, it was well worth the money to pay a tailor to replace it. happy trailz!
