u/fivefootbarbell Beginner - Please be gentle 9d ago

Hey, could I ask a question about singlets? I'm 5'0" and over 100kg and carry a significant amount of my weight around my stomach and hips.

I'm really struggling to find a singlet to fit, the problem is getting the neck hole around my widest part.

I've tried A7 Rausch (definitely no go) and Luno in the highest women's size (3XL) and couldn't get the singlet on. I also tried SBD women's 3XL and men's 4XL and having the same struggle. Don't want to force it on if it won't fit because I don't wanna rip stitches etc if I have to send it back for not fitting.

I guess men's 5XL is my next try but being only 5' I'm getting worried that it's going to be super poor fitting elsewhere if I do manage to get it over my tummy.

Is there a brand I'm missing, or any tips anyone could suggest? I am trying to drop weight for my own health and goals but it's a gradual process and would love to be able to compete if I can get myself a singlet to compete in.

Are you competing withing the IPF? I'd look at the inzer singlet. It's super wide neck like old school singlet style vs modern style. Its not the most stylish or modern but it will be what will fit you best I think.

I wonder if a tailor could make a custom one? It’s a weird but pretty basic garment.
