I still haven't bought any plus sized gear, outside of the one jersey I bought in my local LBS. They only carry a couple of things in plus size.

You know why? Because all the darn ads look like this:

BONY PROTRUDING HIPS DEMONSTRATING plus sized cycling clothes. WTH!!!!!

I love TE, but they don't even have models in clothes at all. I don't know which is worse, no models or skinny models.

This is so frustrating. How hard is it to find a real plus sized model to show a buyer what the clothes might look like on them?

Were not freaking ALIENS. There is such a thing as a plus sized model.

*sigh*

I can't bring myself to pay $85-100 for one single item that even if I read the size charts, I can't be sure it will fit because of all the conflicting reviews about size and fit. (which I'm appreciative there are reviews but they can actually complicate things)

Man, this is a hard sport to get into if your overweight.
