Is there any bigger riders here with personal experience on the fitment of Shift products, specifically the pants? I have a couple of their jerseys and they fit pretty good. I am 6'2 and 240 pre gear. I wear 36-38 jeans but had to get my Thor pants in a 40 to fit right and allow room for knee braces.

I tried new Fox gear a few months ago, even up sized it still fit me to tight through the thighs and in the chest and shoulders.

Definitely seems to be made for thinner guys. Isn't Shift made by Fox ? Perhaps I'm wrong about that.

I've had my best luck with O'Neal and JT. (for a comfy fit for a bigger, stocky guy) Have some new Troy Lee which is borderline to snug, but I'm going to keep it anyway.

Yea this is all really weird to me now cuz it "used to be" that Fox and Oneal fit me really well, and I have an old TLD jersey that is the best fitting one I have, but I went and tried on all their new gear and even the 2XX stuff barely even fits, let alone over a roost guard or anything. My newest Thor pants fit good, but I swear this new low cut fad going on with the jeans and shit has carried over to moto gear cuz I can't bend over wearing them or I'm mooning the world cuz the crotch is so short.

So I got my Fly F-16 set in last night, wow do they fit awesome! I love how the pants fit, by far the most comfy I have worn yet and the sizes are true.
