Waterproof jackets for the larger gent

[livpoksoc]

My boil in the bag decathlon rain cape is starting to let water in around the seams, so in the market for a new one.

The frustration is the brands I like, bizzarely for an outer layer, have sized down their coats. I enjoy Le Col and Van Rysel but their rain jackets in the 3xl are tighter than the jersey and bibs of the same size, that fit me nicely.

So do any CC'ers have any recommendations? Preferably waterproof with good ventilation, and can be stuffed away in a jersey pocket if the sun reappears on a ride.

Altura? Endura? Lusso? British brands
Lightweight rain jackets tend to be a more snug aero fit unfortunately

Funkier and proviz do proper sized gear. Both have reasonable ventilation.

A few people on here have recommended the Galiber Tourmet jacket appears to have some large sizes as well.

Both Brooks and Carradice sell 'rain capes'

Have you looked at the Rockrider stuff for a more relaxed fit ?

I use the same jacket for commuting in bad weather.

Thanks, i have a proviz reflective but it's not the waterproof.

Funkier might be a good shout. Their website's a bit funky to navigate.

I had seen this in store, it felt a lot like the one I have currently and it's breathability is poor.

Its OK. Breathability and cheap don't go hand in hand.
