Default Big&Tall hunting gear question?

I was just wondering how many of you out there ,over 6'4" and/or265lbs or bettter with over a size 15 shoe;have any luck finding good hunting gear,sock's,boot's,camo shirts,pant,s gloves and such?I buy most of my gear from cabellas,yet they don't carry everything that I would like.I also have looked for non insulated chest waders for fishing and they only carry the neopreme in my size.I wish that business would come to the realization that there are plenty of us out here ,this size or larger that enjoy the outdoors.To accomodate us they will probably start selling sneaky leaf camo muu muu'sBill D>

You just described something like 2% of all men in the USA. There are quite a lot of us, but still... When you compare the market, there is a LOT more money to be made in catering to the 98% than to the 2%. I buy what I can find and when I can find it. One good reason I don't own a lot of camo, or any hunting boots (try finding hunting boots in 15AA!!) is there is little of it to be found.

I have seen that both Cabelas and Bass Pro are beginning to take notice of this to some extent as there are more of the larger sized now available in many of their popular clothing styles. However, that list is far from complete. Being 6'4" and 240 lbs I can sympathize with you to a certain extent. I can find some gear that fits nicely but not always.

I have to buy two pairs of pants to add leg extensions to one pair. I usually add 8 inches of extension to a pair of pants.
