Best clothing brands for tall riders

Cycling Kit Kit - What to Buy

A question for the taller riders out there- what’s your go-to brand(s) for clothing? I’m 195cm with a long torso and it seems impossible to find clothing that’s cut for tall athletic physique. Pretty much everything I try is way too short in the body and the brands that too make slightly longer products tend to also make them extra wide at the same time. Suggestions very gratefully received

Thanks

Try The Black Bibs Tall Bibs – The Black Bibs

I have two pairs of the adventure bibs and they are fantastic “all day” bibs. They are my go to when it’s over 90 degrees. I also have Rapha cargo bibs and the pad in The Black Bibs is equal to if not superior to the Rapha bibs at over HALF the cost of Rapha. They are made in VA USA also. I highly recommend them. The link is to the bibs with longer shoulder straps for folks 6’5”. I’m 6’1”, 200lbs, 34-35 waist and use the regular bibs in an XL and they are perfect. They use less material than the Rapha bibs which results in not feeling like you are swaddled in excess material like a baby in a backpack.

I am 1.98 and Rapha Pro L shirts and xl shorts fit me well.

I’m 1.98 and use either Black Bibs or Aero Tech Designs , both have taller sizes, comfortable and fit really well

Thanks everyone. Suggestions for tops / jerseys welcome too - this is where I struggle the most to find something that fits well?
