I'm fat and I need pants

I am 6'0" and 300 lbs . 30" inseam and 46/48 waist (depends on brand). I can't find decent comfortable protective pants. I want to take Lee Parks Total Control course and they require proper riding pants. I also want to do a track day on my Rt and need pants ofr that too, beside the fact that I really should have them for daily riding. Anyone found a source for king sized gear? Cost matters here too. I know some will say this is not the place to pinch pennies but I can't spend what I don't have.

I think it might be a good idea to contact Rider's Warehouse - Aerostich - as I think the Roadcrafter rider suits can be custom tailored.

Check out the Joe Rocket web site. They have some pretty hefty sizes. I know.

IF these two upcoming training opportunites allow Kevlar-reinforced garments, consider the [B]SLIDERS 4.0[/B], available thru[I] Competition Accessories[/I] for $80.

They have waist sizes up to 44, but they run [U]BIG.[/U]

How do I know? Just finished up a product evaluation on this item (Like them!) and sending in the finished article to Vince for future publication in [I]Owners News[/I] any day now.

Again - they run [U]big[/U], so their 44 may very well accomodate your waist size, and between the Kevlar panels and optional CE-approved knee pads - awesome protection.

Just a thought.

Motoport will make you pants that fit, and are comfortable. Timing could be an issue at this time of year, but give them a call.

That was my first thought since I use them myself. But in the short inseam, they only go to 42 waist. So he'd have to get a regular and have them tailored. I'm not sure that meets his budget criterion since with tailoring, they'd be close to $300. Others mentioned in this thread would be even more.

The Craigslist deal looks very good. Thanks for the responses so far.

Mine are marked 48. HT Overpants and TPG Overpants. I have both.

And yeah, they are too long for my 30-32" inseam, but I can deal with that.

I sent you a pm. I can send you pictures that the guy sent me I was interested but the color was not my first choice.

Ok , I missed the craigslist stuff by a day. So I'm still looking. I did some research and the Motoport stuff looks top notch, it's on my wish list.

My waist line was much bigger at one time and First Gear Pants does have large sizes. The good news is that the pants adjustible and when you choose to lose some weight (noticed how nicely I phrased that) you can adjust the pants to suit .

My overall observation is that First Gear designed their clothes for the American market. Apparently the Dutch and the Italians all have perfect bodies as their gear is also suitable for a photo shoot with the beautiful people.
