What size did you order and approximately what are your dimensions?

Hi Amy

I realised you'd probably seen it, i just feel your frustration so was keen foryou to consider it!

It's not a warm jacket, it a really light (as in weight) waterproof? jacket. They come in sizes XL to 4XL. I found with thermals under my summer jersey and the jacket over the top i was nice and warm. It is windproof.

Doesnt have a lot of venting... ie not under the arms, but the bit across the shoulders is a flap and excess heat can escape there. But you would sweat in it if you get really hot.

I wear a 4XL cos i hate things too tight. I think my bust size is about 54in tmi for some... but that's just the way it is! i think my hips are about the same. so you'd probably find the 2XL is large enough for most people. I just have this thing about wanting to be able to sit down without undoing the zip (and my girth expands as i sit down so there needs to be some space!).

It's certainly not like many of those gorgeous jackets i see advertised and wish i could fit into, but it will keep you warm if you have layers underneath and it will keep you dry on top.

I have worn it a lot. I currently wear it over a summer jersey on the way it to work now (and it's our spring) cos the temp is a bit cold first thing in the morning. THen i just scrunch it up and ride home in short sleeves.

Hope this helps. If you find anyone who makes those other beautiful jackets in really big sizes, please let me know. I long to own one of those!

Thea
