Good luck! I'm a 75 kg lifter and I have a hard time finding stuff too, especially if I want something other than black or white. The Land's End pants that Christine mentioned are boring colors, but they are hands down the best workout pants I have owned. Good luck!Lillianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01511981913945080969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7202331164991493087.post-74024744305432632992010-09-06T19:30:53.403-07:002010-09-06T19:30:53.403-07:00As athletes with real curves, you are right, we sh...As athletes with real curves, you are right, we should not have to sacrifice fashion! I am finding more and more companies that do have great clothes for plus sized athletes. Danskin, Moving Comfort, Speedo, Liz Claiborne Golf, and Slazenger have some really nice options.CJhttp://www.plusathletic.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7202331164991493087.post-87672316978395924752010-09-02T19:06:16.944-07:002010-09-02T19:06:16.944-07:00Alot of New Balance's stuff goes up to 2X, how...Alot of New Balance's stuff goes up to 2X, however they don't have a dedicated plus size shop so it's hit or miss. <br /><br />Land's End has some nice plain (read: black) bottoms. The shirts leave something to be desired though. <br /><br />I wouldn't reccommend ordering anything from Eddie Bauer's plus size selection if you have anything resembling muscles. Their shirts have the smallest arm holes I've ever seen. <br /><br />Also, while frumpy and expensive, Lane Bryant is also an option.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12682463218107127445noreply@blogger.com
