Collected my £19 FWE King of the Downs Softshell XS (now £45, rrp £64.99) and it fits my “inner 11 year old” like a glove.

Very smart well fitting technical jacket with windproof panels in just the right places. Well pleased.

Looks nice but I fear from that pic that it might be super racing snake fit.
Cleverly designed to highlight the smallest gut.

It has got stretch panels, you can always size up!

From Q&A

• I wonder if I could check the sizing on the jacket please, I am a 40" chest, but am 6'2" so need plenty of length in sleeves and body, so wondered which to go for?
  
  Many thanks
• Hello Steve,
  
  Thanks for your question, our sizing is comparable to that or normal clothing. I would advise going for the size of jacket that you would normally go for when getting a jacket.

And review

• Quality purchase
  
  This jacket has been a great purchase. Makes a real difference during those cold cycles. Stood up well to the rain and hail during a recent cycle.
  
  Very comfortable fit. I am a 40inch chest and ordered a large, fits well. Quality product.

So the available sizes would fit up to c. 40”

Many thanks for the info Vickster - I saw that - no idea about women's cycling gear but you have to be careful with men's stuff that is anywhere near the racer market.
Which is what Ribble seems to cater to these days.
And note that it has "italian material" - alarm bells
And that pic has the guy looking down in odd way - as if exclaiming - where's my stomach been photoshopped to
It does look very nice indeed but probably not for anyone who stops at a pub mid-ride.
If I was in those parts I'd do as a store collect but I'm not at the mo.
Very good original post though.

Some women’s clothing is even more ridiculous like Ale. The smallest would barely fit a 5 year old. There’s far less choice of women’s clothing too obviously

a topic in itself vickster but I fear we'd divert the thread from bargains if we went there.

I was up for the blue/black one but I've spent my cycling budget for this month (and the next few months!) Glad somebody got a bargain!

Why nervous? You can always send it back for a couple of quid (Less actually a large letter is £1.50 first class and ample for a non bulky item of clothing in a Jiffy bag) ( the cost of half a pint if lucky)

Picked up these on sale from the works.

I was going to order multiple boxes but didn't because of that, I'm about to go up in an hour to see if I have 1 box or 1 tube.

Went in today to SD, got sent 2 tubes instead of 2 boxes. Showed them a print out of the web page as recommended on here and the rest are now on order. TBF they were very helpful
