    Can anyone recommend a light enough jacket for showers? It appears that many are not made in a size big enough for me. Due to the nature of cycling clothing sizes I'd probably be a 3-4xl. In ordinary clothes I'd be xl or sometimes 2xl.

    have you got a bike shop near you? I have the same problem I'm a big lass and I tried on the largest jackets they had, they didn't fit but I got them to order me a size up and it worked well for me
    If you want to try on line theres a brand called Fat Lad At The Back who do larger sizes

    Thank Spudgun. FLATB looks really promising. Hopefully I'll get into a few bike shops at the weekend to check too.

    Do you want something breathable, or just something waterproof, cheap and packable? I have the Agu Secco Condom jacket - picked it up from Planet X on sale. No idea what sizes they go up to - it's waterproof, very backable, but isn't breathable so really just for showers where it'll be on and off,in the summer at least.
