Does anybody in the STW hivemind know of a decent waterproof mtb specific coat for big boys?

I was all exited when I ordered one of the new Hope branded Endura singletrack 2 coats in XXXL.

Very disappointed to say it doesn't quite go round my podge😥

Looking for something around a 52" chest, and dont fancy having to go to Fat lad at the back to find something suitable,
I'm sure they are fantastic, just my delicate ego cant handle having FLAB emblazoned all over me

hello mate.

i reckon i may be a bit bigger than you. 55'' chest, 42'' waist and 6f 4''.

my full on waterproof is a Columbia outdry reign.

they can be found cheaper on the web.
and a xxl will fit you, they are large sized.

i also have one of these for cold and wet.

American brands tend to size large so as Ton points out Columbia, mountain Hardwear, etc

You can get the paramo Quito in XXL so on eBay from the paramo outlet for £90 currently, the ciclo for £60, I like it for MTB, my XXL is too large now so will be selling it once I get an XL or large

It does say water repellent rather than waterproof though, if proper waterproof is important. Also have you noticed that the 15% discount ends today?
