“costumer service is excellent, however fit not so much. I ordered the largest size jacket for women and it’s just to small. The measurement was by bust, but you forgot that women have HIPS. The jacket was cut for a man, smaller hips than waist. Otherwise it’s a BEAUTIFUL garment. I wished I could use it.”
“Loved the design and order came through quickly. However the zip bunches up but probably because I bought a bigger size to wear layers under. I can reach the back pockets easily and a good length. First ride out this year to Norman's Bay Sussex return via the pub..34.18km”
“Had to get the order swapped for a bigger size, my wife thinks the sizing is in the small side, but pleased with replacement.replacement sent quickly”
Hi Reece, thank you for the reviews, we appreciate that you took the time out. Just to explain our pricing, we're a smallish company and passionate about the ethical credentials of the factories we work with. Those two factors mean we can't get the same prices as other bigger and perhaps less ethically responsible companies. We hope this explanation helps and in any case we thank you for your support. Happy continued cycling!
“I am in two minds about the jacket which is why I waited for a couple of cycles before writing the review. Great quality and say what it does, it is definitely wind proof and shower proof, seams are bound Etc. I absolutely love the design feminine but not pink! I have also never found another jacket that fits so well across the shoulders chest, waist and hips (mainly because I had to buy mens wear before for the size).
The only thing holding me back from a five star rating is that that jacket does not take into account a woman’s ample behind and therefore, when I am cycling the jacket leaves the rear exposed not too draftie with thermal leggings but it means the jacket has nothing to hook over so rides up to my waist though my cycle.”
Hi there thanks for the detailed review. We're so glad you appreciate all the things that are so important to us in terms of design and production quality. Regarding the negative point you make - this is very unusual coz our kit is designed to be quite a lot longer than other brands for exactly that reason. If you'd like to discuss this in more details (it might be a sizing issue?) please feel free to email us at fatlads@fatladattheback.com and one of us will be happy to try and help. In any case thanks again for taking the time to review.
“It's a lovely shirt with great materials, but way too big for me. I measured my chest at 41.75 inches, so bought the 42. I like an aero fit that is not compressive. Think I would really need a 38 or possibly less given how beautifully stretchy the fabric is. Had it shipped to my home in Thailand so difficult to exchange now. I'm sure you'd be fine if in the UK.”
Hi Peter we think you look great in it but it's all about personal choice. Just so you don't feel too bad we don't do it in 38 and the 40 is sold out so even if you were in UK you might not be any happier. I'm guessing you won't need may layers in Thailand to bulk it out a bit? So our advice is to eat more pies!🤣
Seriously, if you want to discuss anything please email fatlads@fatladattheback.com and we'll help if we can.
“Easy to find stuff on the website. Jersy is good quality. I am a 48" and the 48" Jersey is snug. But this gives me the kick to lose weight. Very pleased my purchase.”
