“Fab advice on sizing from lass int office. I emailed off a few measurements and had a response within hours with recommendations. Delivery was quick, with delivery options exactly as described on the website. Items looked exactly like the pictures on the web, and the descriptions matched perfectly. Recommended retailer 👍👍”
“Very pleased with my purchase tops seem well made and good quality I will be buying more products from this website I have no problem recommending these tops a very happy customer thank you”
Hi Bob, thanks for the reviews - we're so chuffed to hear that you're a happy customer and we appreciate that you took the time out to review the kit (and of course that the reviews were so favourable!😉). Happy continued cycling from all of us at FLAB.
“Perfect for pulling up when going past fields where there are lots of insects.
Also nice for keeping the chill off my neck on cooler days, matches my jacket too, bonus!”
“Very good company and love the ethos of the company and the social media presence. Can’t complain about the quality of the garments or the range of sizes and compared to other high end cycling brands and shops, they offer very good value for money, if I can afford it then I’ll buy it.
Only negatives for me, and I know these will go against the basics of economics but;
cost - ok I know you pay for quality but not all of us can afford to buy all the kit we need.
Sales/sizing(Warning, I may offend some skinnies😁) so getting the size you want is not normally an issue, until it comes to their sales. Most sale stuff is for those not of the ‘fat lad/lass’ definition. Don’t just make the sale about the skinny items you couldn’t sell, give us fat lads and lasses the chance to order the same stuff. Either that or ban skinnies😂😂”
Hi Alex, thanks you so much for the detailed reviews, we genuinely appreciate you took that time - i trust you'll bond with your pad in no time but any issues you know where we are.
Ref the sales - we hear you, however as you correctly state, it's basic economics. We're a brand for bigger people then some skinny minnies wanted to share the gig and so we made some smaller sizes but they just didn't sell as well as the core Fat Lad stuff 🤷♀️ hence we put them in the sale.
We know the kit is an investment but you already know it's premium stuff, and of great importance to us all especially the founders Lynn and Richard, is the way it's produced. There ain't no small kids working 17 hour days producing our stuff, it's all made in factories Lynn has visited where grown-ups are paid a fair wage for a fair days work. So of course that puts the price up a tad.
Just keep an eye on us and the social media and hopefully something your size will be reduced!
Meanwhile thanks so much for all your feedback and of course for buying from us!
Kr, Mandy
“Simple to order and didn't have to wait long for delivery. Great communication. Really pleased with items. Will certainly be looking for more. Quality is top notch and excellent VFM”
“A amazing company with a great sense of humor. I can't recommend them enough for larger guys like me. (6'6 390lbs).
The clothing gives me the confidence to ride and not worry about showing off too much of my lower back to everyone in traffic. People have enough on the road to worry about without me confounding their day.
I'm a FAT LAD!”
“Effortless ordering and arrived earlier than first thought, a bonus. Comfortable gear that fits and quality garments an added plus to fat lad at the back is the flab community excellent.”
Hi Rod thanks for the ace review (the cheque's in the post and all that!) We're dead chuffed you like the kit and also that you're part of and rate the FLAB community. And that you took time out to tell us! Ta lad.
“Great fit. Arrived in good time. I contacted customer services as I had orders the wrong size. My query was paired up with my order and I was sent the amended size. Really good customer service 👍🏻.”
“Great quality, great fit, and feels super comfy with no wee niggles at all, great to wear something that just works and you don’t have to worry about.”
