I was wondering if anyone knows where I can purchase some plus size women's cycling bibs. I'm not having any luck. I'm 5'7", 185lbs and I wear a size 16-18. Any suggestions would be great!!

I like the Exte Ondo bibs in XL. I wear a 14-16 usually depending on the style.
I'm a size 12/14 and was bigger a while ago (16/18). I found I could wear size L Pearl Izumi. I currently have Pearl Izumi bib shorts in L and they are stretchy and they also come in XL as well so give that a try.
Stoker,
Are Kiwi sizes the same as UK sizes, or US sizes? I think UK are a size smaller than UK... So UK 16 = US 14.
I'm thinking about ordering something from Ground Effects.
Thanks!
Jessica,
Did you see the PM I sent last Monday re: shorts and bibs?
I did read your PM, and I completely forgot about it, sorry!! (I guess 12 hour shifts will do that to you!!) What size bibs do you have, what brand/style are they, what is the extent of wear and how much are you asking? Sorry again about not getting back to you and thanks for reminding me!!!
NZ sizing = UK sizing, we don't do size 0 here (thank goodness!)
Ground Effects stuff is very generous. I have the Ice Queen jersey in L- well its far too large for me now. I know the size chart says its a women's size 14 but really it fit me best when I was 16/18.
If you are wondering about the chamois, it is a soft one, on par with Shebeest Shelastic chamois.
I have a pair of Ground Effect bib nicks that I think are too big :(. I realized after wearing them a few times that perhaps I need to get another type.
Jsss if you'd like them, Pm me.

Check out Aerotech Designs house brand bib. It's not female specific, but the pad looks exactly the same as the female pad. And it's way cheap.
Has anyone tried any shorts or bibs from aerotech designs. I bought some shorts from a site called Love2Pedal and I really didn't like them that much. The padding wasn't just in the crotch area, it also went onto the inner thigh some too and I didn't like that.
Pearl Izumi has a XXL bib short for women. I'm slightly bigger than you (same height) and fit into the XXL.

I've had a couple of pairs of their Top Shelf shorts. Their padding reminds me a lot of Terry's. It's a multilevel pad that wraps onto the inner thigh. I have a pair of their Pro shorts, which have a different pad, and a pair of tri shorts on order right now. I'll let you know how they are when they get here. Overall I was very happy with their quality.Quote:
