Cycling Jerseys That Go Beyond XL
The SHREDLY Cadence Thermal Jersey
Finding a cycling jersey that fits a bigger body used to feel like a scavenger hunt with no prize at the end. The good news? It's getting better. More brands are making jerseys past an XL, and some go all the way up to a 5XL.
So I did the digging for you! Below you'll find brands that make jerseys above a size XL, the biggest size each one makes, and where to grab them. Use the quick look links below to see brands by size.
A little about me, so you know how things fit: I'm a fat, short woman with a large bust, big butt and hips and athletic legs.
I'm 5'2 and in non-cycling clothes typically wear an XL top, Size 16 dress, and size 18-20 pants. In cycling apparel, my size ranges from an XL to a 5XL.
Heads up: cycling clothes often run smaller than regular clothes, so the size you wear every day might not be your size on the bike. For example, in SHREDLY I wear an XL casual top, a 2XL jersey and bib short, and a 20 in their numbered pants and shorts. Always check each brand's size chart and go by your measurements, not the letter on the tag.
And for the record: all gear should be made in many more sizes, up to at least a 6X or 7X. We're not there yet, but these brands are moving in the right direction.

SHREDLY
UP TO 3X · XS–3X · SIZES 00–24 · ROAD, GRAVEL & MTB
Full disclosure: I'm a little biased here, because SHREDLY is home to my very own SHREDLY x Marley Blonsky capsule collection! SHREDLY makes their tops in XS–3X, and their size guide puts a 3X at a 48–51" chest. They've got options for road, gravel, and mountain biking, so there's something for every kind of ride.
