So I am looking at getting a HRM, probably the Polar FT4. However, I am worried the chest strap won't fit me? I am 5'6"-5'7" 275 lbs and a large bust. Any info would be appreciated..

    You actually wear the chest strap below your chest muscles, so you should have no problem with fit! I love my polar hrm it takes all the guess work out of recording your calories!

    I'm a bit taller than you, and weighed 275 when I started. It didn't take long before I had to adjust the strap so it was smaller... I think you'll be fine!!

    I am 5'7" and weight 225. I guess I just must have a broader chest than the other posters... I have it fully extended and it's still a little tight. I wear a 40C bra.

    My FT4 strap is labeled "M-XXL". What's your chest measurement at the bottom of the bra line? I just measured the strap and it's 38" with the adjustment all the way out. It's fairly elastic though, I have a 44" chest and it fits me fine. I even have to snug it up a few inches to keep it from falling down during my workouts.
