Cycling Trousers (Zip off if possible) for a 44 inch waist

[energyman]

I have two options 1. loose weight so I can fit the standard clothing or 2. Find a pair of cycling trousers (pants to non UK readers !) that will fit me.
Tried but so far found that XXL means up to 40 inch waist.
Any one got any suggestions, all very welcome ?

Hi E-man!

Must the trousers have a padded chamois inside, or can they be plain?

If plain (with padded undershorts or padded Lycra cycling shorts beneath), then sizing options go up enormously.

FWIW, I've found pants with zip-off legs can cause knee chafing if the zippers are placed wrong for cycling. They can be fine for walking, but cycling? -- ouch, at least after awhile. Some are fine. Just depends on where the zipper falls when pedaling.

All the best,

Dan. (...who will make inquiries to cycling friends who are much, much larger in girth than you)

I have no clue if the Zoic Black Market pants are available outside USA or if they would fit.  You would have to ask them those questions.

It appears that their sizing information is specific to inseam length, not waist.

Now only available in black.  They used to also be available in tan (khaki) but my Brooks honey colored saddle stained them so maybe that is why now only in black.  I no  longer wear the tan ones on leather saddles, only the black ones, I have both colors.

I wore these (in black) for a month long tour last year, worked great.  I could start the day in long pants, in mid morning when it got warmer switch to shorts.  My only complaint was that there were no ankle zippers, so I had to take my shoes off to take the lower leg parts off.  I liked the pockets for touring.

I am about 34 waist, so I can't advise on sizing.

After a month of use, I found that the shorts were slightly lighter color from the sun than the lower leg parts, but you almost had to look at them to notice that.

Actually there is a size chart with waist measurements, see attachment.

Thanks everyone.  I will investigate those leads. 
 Inserts are catered for, thanks Dan.
There must be a huge untapped market developing large sized cycling gear.

loved the pun 
probably a case of diminishing returns, i expect the market shrinks the more they cycle

At last, a German company called "Gonso" does XXXXL and even bigger.  Will try them.
Other large cyclist fashionista please note !
