You have to read the sizes carefully. As another poster alluded,
there are at least two XXL "standards," with 4-8" differences between
them. At close to your size, I've had good luck with Performance
(tops and shorts) and Voler XXL. Primal Wear is fun, too, but I prefer
an extra X (XXXL) in their sizes. Cannondale 2X was sized right for
me, but Nashbar has been sized small.
HTH!
