Question...

Why is it impossible to find sport/gym clothes in larger sizes? Especially stuff in super-drying fabric. It's all short and tight and doesn't go beyond a normal Medium. It doesn't exactly encourage larger people to go to the gym if they have to do it in soaked cotton or unflattering too-short, too-tight stuff...

Cos we larger sized people aren't supposed to exercise/go to gym. No one wants our sweaty bodies around *cynical*

Ah, I thought it was because we don't go to the gym *anyway*, otherwise we wouldn't be fat.

Try rowing gear. It tends to be made for taller, broader people. I'm a British size 10 (trousers) and 12 (top) and I can usually get away with small sizes, even in women's clothes. The only problem with it is that most of the tops are made for outdoor use and can be quite warm - although most suppliers do technical tops which take the moisture from your body. I recommend Powerhouse's shorts (if they have any, they always seem to be sold out!) and JL stuff is a bit pricier but lasts forever.
