i may be going to buy my bike tonight 04 600rr and am going to go shopping for some gear. i remember last year when i went looking for a jacket it took me forever to find one that kinda fit. i am somewhat fat. not realy fat but 195 at like 5' 11" every jacket has a size that fits but the pads are in all the wrong places. so i had bought one that was a little to small so the pads were in a better location but then it was to short. i thought it would be fine but when i wrecked the lower part of my bake got rashed. any adive? is it ok if the pads are loose? thanks

 

welcome to the "chub club"

i got my joe rocket.. im about 5' 11 220 and all i have yet to do is have a seamstress hem up the sleeves about 1/2 inch.

fits great everywhere else.

just thought i would chime in..

also i have been losing grips of weight only by substituting bread for whole wheat wraps, and juices for whole pieces of fruit. just alittle note to another chub..

but mostly joe rocket stuff doesnt run really slim like icon does.

 

Im in similar sircumstances...[:'(]

 

someone should start up a fat riding gear company. mabey their slogan can be more padding for the landing lol.

 

You can call it...

..."Fat guy in a little coat!!!!!" -Tommy boy

 

I have a similar problem too, I am 6' and 165, my shoulders are wide and they fit the jacket, but everything else is loose, especially around my stomach area.

 

I'm 6' 3 about 220 and i got this

My buddy I think is 5' 9 around same weight and the jacket fitted him perfect also, remember you can always go big and get a custom tailor to cut it down.
Big and tall section would be awsome. We just got to put " No fat chicks allowed".

 

5'10 195. I have never put a jacket on that the pads were in the right place.

+1 on the fat guy little coat idea.

 

glad to hear i am not the only one with this problem. i did not think about getting it custom fitted. my mom ues to sew a lot of stuff i bet she could.

 

I'm 6'5 - 140lbs, you guys think u have problems.
