Hi all,
Ive just bought my first bike, am going to be starting slowly and going on cycle paths mainly but I can also cycle to work once I get a bit fitter.

However Im sitting here tonight realising that my ordinary fleece will ride up my back rather unnattractively when I am riding. Soooo Im looking for a female cut jacket that has plenty of hi vis and a low back to cover my bottom.

The other issue is that Im a size 20.....I was looking at the Madison Stellar jacket which looks good but how does the sizing come up. I will have to order online as I cant find a local shop that sells any jackets really.

Thank you

  • Don't know about the Madison, but Altura's Nevis goes upto 18 and is sized quite generously (people normally buy a size down)

    Second the Altura sizing for jackets - i've got a Night Vision one in a 10 and it's a great fit, especially as i'm normally more of a 14. They go up to size 18 too. Good luck with your cycling!

  • Hiya thank you for both your replies, was wondering if all the Altura ones came up generously and like the reflectiveness of the Night Vision so will go for that, will just have to hope it fits!

    Thank you
