Default Who makes good gear for BIG guys?

I'm just wondering. I'm 6'2" and 290 lbs, and I'm in the market for new gear. Everything I've tried in xxl sizes seems to be made for guys not my size. I've got a lot of xxl clothes and other things that fit just fine. But I've tried on klim xxl stuff and it just doesn't fit. I bought a fly trophy xxl helmet over the internet and it's way to small (as in I can touch my jaw to the bottom crossbar on the helmet).

I'm not too out of proportion for being the size that I am. I'm just getting frustrated and looking to see if anyone else is having this problem.

6' 2" 250 here.
Everything I buy is generally XL.

Might try someone that will allow you to get it, try it on and if it doesn't fit, send it back for a larger size.

I usually try to buy all my stuff at a place that carries a full line so I can try it on before I buy for just that reason.

Any snowshows or anything coming to your area??
Otherwise PM Snowday and see what he can do for ya.

6'1" 280 here.

I typically wear XXL in everything. But in KLIM I wear only the XL in jacket size. Seemed to run larger than other brands. I got the Klimate line. I love it! Although there has been alot of bad talk about the warranty's lately. But none first hand.

That's the same jacket I have.
It's an XL but I wear it over my B-wear vest.

5'11" and 275... I wear HMK xxl or slednecks defender jacket in xxl and fit good! For pants I went with a snowboard style by SIMS.. Fit really well too.. Helmet wise I have a Thor carbon xl.. Got new Thor carbon on the way when it releases.. Fox helmets fit good too!


I don't like the way KLIM fits at all..
