M or L for 40" chest & beer gut?
Posted 4 months ago # -
You'd probably want a Large, I'm a slim 6'2" with a 38 chest and a medium is a perfect fit. Although having said that there would be plenty of space if I needed it.

Cripes, I hope these jackets are ok, I suddenly feel an enormous sense of responsibility now that loads of people have ordered!
I've gone for a medium - Thaw-out - sounds like I'm a similar build to Sambob.
Will report back when it arrives.

Four coats for me, the mrs and the kids! Total incl postage is 45 quid and then there's 6% cash back. Won't we all look dandy in our matching outfits! Come on children and mind the dogs*&t.
Good find poster! However I may be overcome with sweatshop guilt in which case it'll all be your fault

would be interesting to get some feedback once these jackets are received and used.

the last linky that someone put up for a Dare jacket - I bought one. Lovely looking and dead cheap. The black one with white zips... anyway, quality is rubbish. Fit is good though (except the hood). breathable isn't the word, it's like a string vest and now after only 4 rides the velcro is destroying the fabric around the cuffs.
Think that I'll stick with Mountain Equipment for proper gear! Tried just about all makes and these, for me, are clear winners!
Thanks for the posts though! I can't complain too much though, I wasn't expecting too much for £30?

One for me and one for the wife.
Splendid bargain we didn't really need.

Yet another jacket bought and added to the collection. Dunno what the quality will be like but for these prices one shouldn't complain now should one? *sees wife's face as yet another parcel arrives...eek*

Poss the QC isn't great? I got one of the same and it's spot on.
I'm never turning up for a forum ride; I couldn't get over the shame of everyone kitted out in the same Team STW/D2B "uniforms"

i coat for me and 6 for the kids for cycling [ not all my kids mind] for £75 not bad at all
Posted 4 months ago # -
Still seems to be plenty of these (is the retail price actually realistic?)
Anyway here's another one that seems similar without the daft print, anyone know if it's similar? (bar lack of pit zips) - it may be a bit more wintry/heavier.

Is there a guide on sizing?
Posted 4 months ago # -
dead obvious link called "Size chart"
Posted 4 months ago # -
Cool hand Luke - can I ask whether your good wide ordered a mens jacket and what size she went for? What size would should normally wear - just want to get an idea of sizing.
Also, what's the delivery time on these jackets?
Cheers allPosted 4 months ago # -
so how's the fit for cycling in? non cycling kit tends to be too short in the arms and back
Posted 4 months ago # -
And too long/fat in the belly.
I'm prob not ordering one, while it's v cheap my experience of this kit km TKMax etc suggests it's a par below other brands, and I demand peak performance!

This looks quite promising as my ski jacket it way too big for me. What are soft shells like in actual snow? Would I be able to use one of these as a top layer for a skiing trip in a couple of weeks, or would it not cut the mustard?
Posted 4 months ago # -
Thanks for the PSA, needing some warm clothes so have stocked up! Hopefully the quality and fit will be ok, but don't forget you can always send it back if it's not!

It should be alright I_ache, mine is very windproof, and it isn't even one of the snow specific jackets. Should be fine in dry snow, but you might get a bit damp if you're lying down a lot in slushy wet snow.

I ache I'd think they could be pretty good but I'd guess you'd need a few layers underneath.

Received the "Instinctive" soft-shell in the post yesterday - paid £15 delivered. First impressions are really good. Not ridden in it yet so can't comment on performance but fit and fabric are killer for the price. Only drawbacks for me are: could be longer in the body (i'm 6'2" and size is M) and it's not especially light...but what do you expect for £15??

My order arrived today.
Most of the stuff seems great quality, I ordered a couple of the £6 "pace maker" tops and they're great- good fit and nice material, I'd think they were pretty good at £15 to be honest. Also ordered 2 softshells, and a furrry lined jacket. The jacket is brilliant, its really warm, a good fit, nice and long and seems great quality. The two softshells aren't quite so good- the fit is pretty baggy, especially in the arms and around the stomach. I don't think I'd be at all comfortable riding in them, so I'm going to send them back. The material seems pretty nice and there's some nice design features, so a little sad that they don't fit so well!
I ordered medium and should've probably gone for small for riding in (I can get a fair few layers under the jacket, so that's okay), I'm tempted to re-order in a small, hopefully they'll have another voucher up before all the stock has gone. For reference I'm usually a medium in Gore/ DHB stuff, so the Dare2B is more of a casual than a "cycling" fit.
