    Hi-Viz Jacket...

    Ok so i bought a hi-viz jacket to put over my leathers... Waterproof/windproof/hi-viz... Ticks all the box`s?

    The 3XL i had was too small so i finally found a site that did a 5XL and ordered, all for something like £25, back/arms/waist fine, chest i could get away with but i can just and i mean JUST about fasten the zip to the top, i look like the fekkin michelin man on steroids after a pub lunch.

    Anyone know of any sites that do 6,7 or above XL? Anyone had the same problems and can recommend one?

    I'm lucky in that i can return for a full refund no questions asked so that will be winging it's way back tomorrow, any help appreciated.

    Craig.

    p.s. If you do have a recomendation then please tell me you neck size, mine is about 18" (i know, i know p!ss off with the jokes whealie) if you don't mind.

    hehe Don't worry, i have checked ARCO and they only goto 3XL, ive sh!t em... There is one near by so i might pop in just to have a laugh at the sales guy

    btw, the 5XL is something like 58 or 60 inch chest but it's not the chest it's the top zipper i can't fasten, what do they think people buying 5XL's necks are gonna be, bloody 14"!!!

    Cool Re: Hi-Viz Jacket...

    Craig,
    This doesn’t really help you, but may be of use to others.

    The Hi-Viz west I wear is the IKEA own brand cheap as peanuts, it's a one size fits no one affair and very very big it fits over my somewhat larger than normal body and all my bike gear.

    i know m8, fek it im gonna go on a diet.. maybe after Wales though? lol

    I must admit i am really fed up not fitting into clothes, it's kinda depressing, but... the thing is, i aint obese or anything it's just that i enjoy weight training so have quite a large back and arms (i didnt think my neck was to bad but hey) so anything i wear get stretched out sideways thus making the neck area even tighter, the only thing i can think of is to do months of high repetition training and try and lose say a stone in weight, mybe if i were around 16 stone i might be able to fit in some of this sh!t, lol...

    I think my target has to be 16 tone or under for TLD. And maybe then i can get the good HG stuff i was after

    p.s. Pan, ill have a look at that m8 cheers
