I am a big guy at 6'1" and 250lbs and built like an over-the-hill NFL linebacker. To top it off, my shoe size is 13EEEE and I have high insteps. My glove size is 12 and some XXL gloves will not fit. I have trouble buying motorcycle gear to fit.
I have found that First Gear jackets in XXL fit good and are decent quality. Have also owned Tourmaster. My Hein Gericke leather jacket has held up for 15 years but is now very tired and no longer imported. I really like the new Klim Overland jacket and may buy one. Expensive but very nice.
I have Held, First Gear and Olympia gloves, all in the largest sizes available. Held summer weight gloves are great but expensive. Olympia winter gloves have held up very well. Have several pairs of Olympia gloves that have all been good. Deerskin light summer gloves are very comfortable.
I have a pumpkin shaped (round) head. I have ARAI helmets but like the SHOEI Qwest helmets for fitting my round head. Also have a SHOEI open face which I like when riding behind a full fairing on a hot day. My next helmet will be a SHOEI Qwest.
My biggest problem is finding waterproof motorcycle boots to fit my very wide feet and high insteps. I have a set of Cruiserworks boots that fit, with side zips. Well made and truly waterproof but uncomfortable to walk in. Sidi Way boots are nice, but not quite wide enough for me. Any ideas on super wide boots will be appreciated.
One last thought. I have purchased several items at Revzilla. Fast delivery, good customer support and no hassle returns.
