“I love the gear that is made. It’s a great fit and comfortable for the bigger cyclists. I’m 19.5 stone and have struggled to find good quality gear but this great stuff.”
“Excellent gear and quick service which makes me smile in this covid era of unreliable service .
My only winge is I think the zip on the jacket feels a little weak. Time will tell that I’m wrong , hope I am . It’s a beautiful jacket”
Hi Sally, thanks for taking the time out to post all the reviews. We're loving the five star feedback 😃.
However, if there are any issues with the zip on the jacket please contact me on fatlads@fatladattheback.com. Fingers crossed it's more robust than first appearances might suggest. Kr, Mandy
Hi David, as you know the pockets were specifically designed for pie and cake so that's fab that they're doing the job to your satisfaction.
We're not doing 3/4 i'm afraid but plenty of new full length due in stock any week now so hopefully you'll get sorted for the colder weather, if you do need something.
“I love the range of sizes - I have found other cycling brands quite sizeist, and it has been a struggle to find anything that would fit me. Easy ordering and great delivery. Love the acronym btw 😂”
“Great products and great availability. Gives exactly what the industry needs - normal sizes for normal people. Cannot fault the quality.
Being a Yorkshire lad it goes without saying that the customer service and email/contact etc is top notch.”
“Absolutely love it. The advice from Mandy in FLAB was spot on. I sent in my measurements and the 47 fit perfectly. Looks great and feels so comfortable. Incredible quality fabric and zip! Love it 10/10”
“Fair prices, good quality, super-fast shipping over to Canada - and sizes that actually fit! So hard as a large lad to find decent cycling gear. Happy to get it via Fat Lad at the Back. Feel like I've found my community!”
“It is many years since I have ridden my bike. On the 27th of July my beloved Border Collie who was only 9 years old died quite unexpectedly - the vet did not know why she died. There is such a void - we were inseparable - spending all day out n about. I cannot bring myself to go for a walk so cycling was my a solution. The 'Grundies' are absolutely brilliant! Without them it would have been a very uncomfortable re-introduction to pedalling!! Cycling will never be as good as being with Blue but it does get me out of the house. My wife is taking me to Ribble Cycles today to probably order an e bike - at 70 years old I need all the help I can get!!! I already have two of your MTB tee shirts - who knows I might even buy a 'real' cycling top from you next!!!!!”
Hi James - we're gutted to hear about Blue. We're all dog lovers in the FLAB office and Alfie the office dog - a Yorkshire Terrier obviously! - is much loved. He earns his keep by the odd modelling gig and just generally being cute. So, we can empathise and sympathise with your loss. However, looking forward - you're back in the saddle! Amazing at 70 years young. And you can't beat a pair of Grundies as you say. Email at fatlads@fatladattheback.com if you need any sizing help for your 'real' cycling tops! All the best from all of the gang here.

Thanks for the review Christine, we appreciate that. Also pleased to hear you son in law was happy - well who wouldn't be with a Fat Lads Jersey from his mother in law we ask ourselves?
Thanks again for taking the time out to review.
