So I've run 5- 5ks so far, it's getting colder outside and I can't find any long sleeve running tops to fit my 2x frame that aren't men's clothes. I am so frustrated I want to scream. I can find pants, short sleeve and tank tops no problem but a long sleeve ventilation shirt forget it. *kitten* i can even find those freaking running legging in my size but not a decent long sleeve shirt.

does anyone have any suggestions? or have this problem too?

    Did you try Old Navy? They have xxl stuff! Also I think Champion brand - at Targey- has xxl too.

    to be honest - I'm a small or small now in womens but prefer to buy small mens base layers for running in in the winter, womens always seem to be cut to fit smooth, I prefer baggy and movement, I think its better to concentrate on my running then what I'm wearing and I've looked a complete dogs dinner alot but i don't care and might get pedestrians to move out the way quicker rather then gaup lol

    Try Old Navy. They have an active wear line that goes to XXL. And it's cheap :)

    I've had some good luck finding 2x ladies active running clothes at Target but the long sleeve shirt remains elusive for me as well. I can't even find one I like in the mens stuff.

    LOVE LOVE LOVE the champion brand at Target but the XXL is too small. Champion's website does have plus sizes and i have all their tops...love them and i've worn them in 2 5ks so far.

    I do buy men's clothes but my point is why should i? shouldn't there be clothes out there that are made for me?

    and as to old navy- all their clothes fit me funky. anything i buy i need to hem, adjust the straps, add some ties or darts.
