- Big and Tall Motorcycle Gear Sizing Guide
www.revzilla.c...
For big and tall motorcyclists finding equivalently big and tall motorcycle gear can be frustrating. In sizing up for larger riders, the answer shouldn’t be just “throw more fabric at it.” Big and Tall is not a size. There is not one specific frame, style, or model to rule them all. When looking at sizing for big and tall motorcyclists, the variances in dimensions are equally as diverse as the motorcycles, riding disciplines, and aesthetic proclivities of the riders themselves. In this guide on how to size big and tall motorcycle gear, we describe some of the common issues that larger riders run into and provide our top picks for the motorcycle gear that will best provide each of our 3 main body-types with the fitments and functionalities they are looking for.
I'm a lot like Joe and I appreciate you showing us some options. What would truly help is if the manufacturers would just get together and standardize the sizes.
Thank you so much for this. As a "big and burly" guy, finding gear can be a real pain in the butt.
Agreed, though I wish they would put more time into the pant options. Not everyone likes the style of the textile overpants, and finding any company that is even accurate for larger sizes is difficult.
Same here. Of course you can always find some gear but not only you may have to pay an arm, leg and kidney for them they also most likely are not a style you are looking for. IE if you are a cafe racer or cruiser guy then you may not be into the high vis adventure dad gear. Personally I am between the first and second guy. I am huge, 6 ft 3 tall, broad shouldered but also bit beer bellied cruiser driver. Finding a certified, armored riding leather or denim jacket has proven to be impossible. The few that I found were for skinny joes who do modeling work for a living but apparently do not make enough to eat anything. So far I have only a Richa hoodie that I am comfortable with but it is a loose fitting that, despite armor and kevlar lining, may not be super safe in a crash.
At 6'10 270 lb. I have to say Thanks for some rider options that I can use. But the world is still built for Midgets.
Fun King Fuss I'm 7 foot 300
yea pants selection sucks , im 6'4 255 , long legs. Ive sadly resorted to adding material to the bottoms of the pants I buy to cover my lwr legs while sitting. It looks like crap but thats all I can do
Im 6ft 7 and i am 260. #tallpeopleproblem
Jan Michael Vincent wow! How do you fit in Airwolf? Loved that show as a kid.
I'm more of a Joe built guy but with an ass that makes the ladies almost break a neck to stare... Thing is, nothing seams to work when it comes to pant sizes... Like going up sizes in revit pants just make them longer and knee pads don't line up, and then the size that's the right length won't go up past my hips.
living with a 36" inseam is the ultimate suffering a human being can experience
thx revzilla
About time! Obviously, all riders aren't built like Anthony!!!! LOL!
Thanks RevZilla!
Its all fine and dandy until you realize that the Dainese D1 has been "unavailable" in all the Tall sizes every time I've checked for the last two years...
The biggest problem with riding gear us that it NEEDS to fit. If regular clothes are too big it just looks weird, while riding the pads are in the wrong places. Thanks for the info. Wish more people did vids like this.
At 6'6" Tall, 330 lbs, and with a short 32" inseam I'm REALLY hard to fit for ANYTHING. Worse, I have a large chest at almost 60 inches. The only gear that seems to fit me right is the older 'FXR' stuff from Harley Davidson, but thank you for showing me that there might be other options.
Can we get a similar video for women with larger busts/smaller waists, or larger hips, or... :) It'd be really helpful! I keep having to return jackets to get a fit across the chest.
This would be most appreciated - any idea if there is a video already out there or when one might be available. I am running into issues right now. I'm on my second order for a jacket -- hoping this one coming will fit. Maybe a sort option on the website for brands that have sizes that accommodate us busty (hippy/small waist, etc) ladies. Thanks!!
@@MrsDT-TD143 the best options I've found are Olympia, Kim, and custom sport bike leather makers.
Thanks so much for this video Joe fitting the motorhead 2 jacket really allowed me to see what I would expect for myself being big and burly. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Awesome. I'm a lot like Ryan. im 6'3" , 290 lbs, 54 inch chest and the Rev it outback II looks like the jacket for me, I may try it in the 3xl size . Thanks for making this big and tall video.
I've had very good luck with FirstGear as well in a similar size in a 3XL.
Best video yet! I am 6'3 with a 46" chest and Long arms that measure 36" inches from the center of my neck and I can never get a jacket to fit right. I always order a 2X when an XL will do so I can get the length in the arms I need.
I'm big and burly like Joe. My Olympia Expedition 3XL fits me perfect and is a true 4 season riding jacket. I love it and highly recommend it.
How bout us REALLY BIG guys ? i'm 5'11" and 360 where a size 64 Leather and i'd like to find jacket with mesh and armour but in my size
RevZilla sells a lot of gear, and could put some pressure on these manufacturers for more tall cuts. If you want a leather riding jacket and are tall/skinny, your options are the JR Sonic 2.0, and Dainese D1, and you'd better like black. There's a market there.
I don't know, I'd think if the market was there the manufacturers would know. It's their business to know such things.
adamaj Manufacturers aren't omniscient and are risk averse. Most won't get that there's a market until someone else takes the risk, or retailers are shouting at them. Lots of clothing manufacturers offer tall cuts -- Eddie Bauer, LL Bean, and Carhartt (for example) make a lot of money offering everything they sell in regular and tall sizes. RevZilla has a much louder voice than I do -- they should use it to get at this boatload of money I have to spend on tall gear.
Oh, so they don't sell just "Tall"? Like LT, XLT, 2XLT? But yeah, something this specialized they'll probably not take the risk unless they're sure there's enough demand. Probably a much bigger deal to manufacture/change this type of clothing/gear than regular clothing. My guess is they've ran the numbers and the return isn't big enough for the investment. Most business is probably here in the U.S. and everyone knows there are a lot more "Big" people than "Tall." lol
Manufacturers need to make more tall and not large sizes, too many of them start their long/tall at size large, or waist size 34+, before you get the option of long/tall. How about some medium tall jackets or 30/32 waist with long inseams, and I mean long like 36!
This is 'murca...there are way more "big" people than "tall"...
Thing is, revzilla ships to various countries. I can't have pants, and it makes me sad.
I would like to see this updated for 2022
I'd like to see a video about good bikes to fit tall riders. There's lots of attention given to short riders being able to reach the ground but not much given to ergonomics for the tall guy. Just because the feet reach the pegs doesn't mean the knees, ankles and hips like the angles.
Great idea! I'll pass that along. One of my personal tips is to use cycle-ergo.com to virtually size yourself on a bike before you have it in front of you. It's not always fool-proof, but it's a good starting point. -TeamZilla Chris
@@RevZilla pretty nifty!
Great video and well thought out guys. Appreciated 👍🏻
So am I a "big and burly" rider at 5'6" and 240 lbs? Nice that your "short guy" is 5 feet 11 inches tall. Will see if you revise your guide. If not, I'll move on to other gear guides.
Matt Brown what did you find, I am identical numbers.
OMG! Thank you soooooo much for making this video RevZilla!! (I'm tall and lanky.)
Finally. Something for the big boy riders
It's weird that Joe has a 54'' chest, but for the tornado 2 jacket he is in a 3xl?? size chart shows 3xl is 46.9-48.8.
How about a fit guide for us short & fat Danny DeVito/Chris Farley types.
Can you do an update to this video? Also maybe even give a few different styles and materials. I am a big guy like Joe. I went into your showroom and could not find anything that fir well. I tried the olympia and with almost every jacket i tried i get a tightness in the front of my shoulders almost like the seam where the arm meets the jacket it pulls tight when i get into the riding position.
Thank you for making this video! At 6’6” and 245 lbs I need this kind of info.
Everytime try to order big stuff it's out of stock
Revit on Joe is 3xl? He is about my size 54 chest, but Revit size chart shows differently.
Hey guys. Do you ship to Australia? Seems only boys ride bikes here. They don’t make adventure gear for men mate... cheers...
Yes, we do ship to Australia. Shipping cost depends on size, weight, and value. Some brands may not be shipped to certain destinations due to manufacturer restrictions. If you have selected an item that cannot be shipped internationally, we will inform you in the checkout process on our site. Please see our International Orders Page (www.revzilla.com/international-orders) for more details. -DrewZilla
Good luck finding a Dainese D1 jacket in stock anywhere in the US in the tall sizes
Your website has a My Garage feature allowing you to "Shop Parts By Bike" that is in your garage. Have you ever thought of a My Body feature where you can enter your measurements allowing you to "Shop Gear By My Body"?
It would help a lot if Revzilla (and other dealers) would include extensive measurements for the gear they sell... including arm length, back length, shoulder width and for pants--- inseam and length from hip to knee. If you're going to sell clothing online, you need to be more out front about those products. Just pawning it off on the manufacturers and saying "they didn't give us measurements" isn't acceptable. Someone knows these numbers and your customers deserve that information.
I’m not so much big and burly as just fat as hell. Found one coat that fits okay at 5xl. Wish there was more options but just glad I found something.
If you are struggling to find sizing the works, you can also look into Aerostitch. They do custom sized riding jackets if brands we carry don’t offer anything that good off the rack.
I'm 6'2" and athletic and the Icon Overlord was too short in my opinion. The 2XL felt good around my shoulders but was too short at the waist. When I raised my arms a tiny bit you could see my stomach. You can see the same problem in this video - the jacket doesn't even reach the guy's belt line in front.
In a forward riding position, a longer front jacket length would cause the jacket to bunch. That's why we see sportier jackets have shorter fronts and longer drop tails. -DrewZilla
Lol I didn't expect to see the revit outback 2 there. I have the same problem as the first guy, too wide shoulders, and precisely I have a revit outback 1 which fits me nicely in the shoulders, but it's so baggy in the belly...
Great now do big and tall women. Finding big with 34" inseam
Man... any chance to do this video in the other side? I mean, for short riders? It's not being easy to find a one piece suit that fits people with 5"3 [1.58m]
I have just the opposite problem as Erik smith; I found most tall sizes stop one size below my waist size. In regards to Pants , if find any at all ( Tourmaster) there always heat unfriendly black. I go to revzilla and can find big, or tall but not both although they have the biggest selection around, Most Tall sizes cut off at 40 or XL or theyre all "bake me black". the manufactures just dont produce the edge sizes in anything usefull.
Awesome video. Thank you. My tall lanky husband thanks you. Do you have similar suggestions for tall women? I'm a little taller than average and had to hunt and hunt for a jacket long enough in the sleeves. NOTHING fits our long armed 5'10" thin daughter. Small mens is best so far but it's baggy in the middle.
REV'IT! is likely to be a good option. -DrewZilla

@@RevZilla thanks!
You're welcome! -DrewZilla
Great video. Do you have one for motocross gear?
We don't currently have a video for big and tall motocross gear, but a lot of motocross gear is available in larger sizes already. Feel free to use the Apparel Size selector in the left hand column on the pages below, in order to find gear in your size. -DrewZilla

Excellent move doing a round of gear for the us that are built in a cookie cutter image, well done.
I need a new jacket, Ive been wearing 2xl Rev’it Outback for 5 years now. I just tried a 3xl rev’it eclipse and its too small. Im wanting a Sand 3 or Outback 3 jacket 4xl..
If you need models for all-above, I'm only a couple hours south! I need a new jacket anyway...
Its so hard to find something that fits someone 6'6" and 350lbs it really makes it hard
iam 5.9 feet and 275lbs and i want dainese racing d1 leather jacket.Is any number available for me?Or first must make a diet?Thanks!
what about short guys i am 5"6 and i cannot find jeans or a really nice looking fitting jacket its starting to get very frustrating cant you guys do something about this ill bet the reason most guys dont wear gear is because all the gear looks the same and the fact that there is nothing for short men sorry about the rant...
Looking for a track suit ALMOST gave me some info with the 2nd guy but no track racing suit talk for him
I’m 5’9 280 lbs 54 inch chest
Want to buy my first suit HELP
Hell yeah found a jacket boom! Go to revzilla to pick it up in 3xl.... out of stock. :/
What about muscular people? I am looking for a leather jacked for over a year. What brand do you advise? I am not that tall (1,70m) but when a jacket fits my shoulders properly it will be too long and it will not fit tight around my middle. also the sleeves will be too long. My weight is about 85kg.
Would really appreciate some advise. Thanks!!
Take a look at the following options from Alpinestars. They're designed to work with or without their airbag system, so there's a lot of stretch in the upper arms, shoulders, and torso. -DrewZilla

What are some suggestions for urban/commuter clothing (jackets, pants, gloves, ...) for short (63"/160cm) riders?
It depends on your chest, waist, and inseam sizes. Most shorter riders still have relatively average chest sizes, so many jackets are available in sizes that should fit. If you're finding that jackets are too big in the chest, consider the European brand Dainese. For pants, I've linked our selection that is available with specific short sizes. -DrewZilla

Any budget suggestions for the burly body type thats sub $200?
Absolutely, Olympia has a few options that fit the bill. -DrewZilla

I am all of these guys at the same time... finding gear is a nightmare...
I've tried to navigate your site and find some stuff that will fit...nothing does.
I have a 30" head circumference, and it's also 14 inches from chin to crown.
74" shoulder circumference.
60" chest
50" waist
54" hips
40-41" arm length (in dress shirts)
6' tall, but a 28" inseam 🙄
Only FX and HJC make helmets big enough. Nobody makes a jacket, pants, or shoes big enough. (US 12-6E width)
Do you know any companies that make custom stuff?
If you have any interest in riding jeans, Bull-it makes a pair in a 50x30, which I've linked below. For custom gear, I recommend reaching out to Vanson and Motoport. For custom boots, I recommend Gasolina Boots. I apologize that we don't have much to fit your build, but I hope these recommendations help! -DrewZilla

I'm 6'4" and weigh in at ~175 lbs with a 33" waistline. I also have roughly a 46" - 48" chest size and broad shoulders.
With this being said, I'd say I'd have a mixture of both Ryan's and Carl's physique (more so Carl). Any have suggestions?
If looking at a textile jacket, go with the Ryan recommendations. For leather jackets, you can go with types for Ryan and Carl. -DrewZilla
Thanks, I appreciate it!
Jackets aren't the problem. They're easy to find. No one makes tall riding jeans. And don't tell me that a 34 fucking inseam is "tall". I'm 6'6" and 230. I need a minimum of 36 inseam and 38 if I don't want my pants going to mid shin when I'm on my bike.
@Tall RVr currently using the street and steel Oakland jeans.
@Tall RVr I bought them in store. They’re definitely longer than 33” cuz I am all legs.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!
Can you guys do one of these for women as well
We'll definitely consider making one for women, but in the meantime, you're always welcome to get in touch with any of our Gear Geeks to discuss options to fit you. You can reach us via phone or email at 877-792-9455 or cs@revzilla.com. -DrewZilla
great vid
I’m 6’4 320lb, I fucking hate bike gear, it’s horrible. I need something as light as possible but also protective.
I think there's one other body type we didn't talk about... burly like Joe, but also wears tall size clothing (needs the torso length!) What's an ogre to do?
update to this would be nice =)
It’s tricky. I’m big and burly but I have 5 inches on Joe
What Size is Joe wearing in the pants?
Joe is my twin. They should use him more often.
Where's Anthony? Too good for the big and tall crowd, huh? :(
Never - not enough hours in the day to shoot it all my man!
this is great
I'm between a Carl and a Rian 🤗🤗🤗
Hey guys I'm 6"2 my weight is between 160lbs does a zxr6 fits to ride I'm a frist time in everthing
We do not recommend a ZX6R as a first bike. Instead, you'll learn to ride much easier on a 300-class bike like the Kawasaki Ninja 300 or a dual sport like a Honda CRF250L or Kawasaki KLX250S. -DrewZilla
Truly like the video...
Unfortunately you are out of stock on pretty much everything.
Lol
at 3:23 .... what jeans is ryan wearing?
He's wearing the Overlord Jeans. Take a look at the new Akromont Jeans as well. -DrewZilla

Options depend on your chest and waist size. Here are some options that might work for you. Be sure to reference the size charts on the product pages, since different brands have different sizing. -DrewZilla

How about tall and bulky? 🤣🤣🤣 because I’m a mix between 1 and 2 lol
Can anyone direct me to big man's riding pants?
Can you be more specific when you say big man, because that can refer to all three models in this video. All of the product pages are linked below the video too if you need something specific. If you have any other questions or concerns, please reach out to our Gear Geeks at 877.792.9455 or cs@revzilla.com. Ride safe, -Pat
Poor guys. Would be helpful for the guys to mount there bikes were it really matters. But still helpful...
Anyone notice those guys didmt ever blink 😂
Guess us big guys can't go racing. No race suit
Depends how big. Dainese goes up to Euro 64, which fits a 51-52 inch chest. If that's not big enough, Vanson and Bates make custom sizes. -DrewZilla
