Best LBS for good selection of (resonably priced) cycling clothes.

    All, Im going mad looking for some reasonably priced cycling clothes.
    Would get bits for all seasons if they were available.

    Im 6' 3" and 16.5 stone, I have done the online ordering bit but have returned 4 orders already in the last 3 months.

    I had a selection of cheap gear for 2012 but Ive lost 3.5 stone so all that stuff is too big hence I dont want to spend a fortune incase I loose another bit.

    One thing I think odd is that the CRCs and wiggles of this world dont put accurate dimensions. Two of the orders I returned had all dimensions on the site but low and behold they were all wrong when measured.

    I understand that alot of manufacturers are italian but how can a guy of 16 stone be 6xl. In normal clothes Im an XL.

    So if anyone knows a LBS in ireland that would have a decent selection without breaking the bank I'd like to know...

    the wiggle own brand stuff is cheap enough and the size guides are spot on and it's great quality for the money!

    Thanks Seaneh, 2 of the items I returned were to wiggle.
    One was a DBH with 47-49 inch chest (im a big lad) and even though Im a 46 it didnt fit on the chest.

    They wanted me to post back and pay a restock fee until I asked them to measure it and it wasnt even 46 inches where they appologised and refunded the restock fee and even my postage. But thats not the point why have sizes up that are not accurate.

    If Wiggle had a shop Id visit it to try stuff on.. But then again theyd probably not have bigger sizes in the shop anyway...

    Anyone know what the policy would be for ordering 5-6 items and returning the ones that dont fit. Would it cost me a fortune....

    The edge sports in Cork has a good selection of clothing and prices are as good as online. They offer 10% off with a loyalty card even on your first purchase. I've bought a few bits.
