I still have a bit of a gut. Okay, more than a bit. But the MUSA shorts and pant sit normal on me. When we've had some hot weather even will slip on my huge XXL which are way too baggy now for a bike ride. Can't wear them at work, but do wear them a lot of the time otherwise.
The knickers do ride a little lower in back. Not an issue as long as I have a longer top on. Most of the WoolyWarm tops fit the bill nicely. But the only other knickers I own are Swobo and those have their own issues. Nice for cool weather as long as they aren't catching on bike parts. The MUSAs are much more practical that way. A Wolly Warm jersey would be nice. Or a wool sweater. Yeah. In the original Nigel Smythe tweed pattern. Then I could match my bags. Creepy.
