“EU buyers beware, the customs charge was a sad surprise - extra 30€ at the post office.
Also, the new subscriber's 10% discount code was emailed after the purchase instead of at the time...meh.
But otherwise, customer service was prompt. And the product is beautiful.”
“Lovely leggings and good fit...though the tie cords could do with being a little longer (as you put them on you almost lost the cords). Also the lower part (just below your need could be a little tighter/closer fitting as they feel a little loose.”
“Lovely jacket bright colour and design, a bit snug but ok. Now the sleeve length that's something different they are extra long! so after having altered (shortened) and having thumb holes put in they now come just 2 the knuckle and keep the hands warm. Very pleased. 1st time I've bought off Fat Lad/Lasses but will again.”
“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.
