Richa Rix 2 Jacket - Plus Sizes

I bought this jacket after returning to biking after a long period away, and needed a jacket that fit my now enlarged body! It has proved to be a good fit, with good ventilation for the few hot days that we had this summer. Needs more external pockets, but that's being picky. I rode through a nasty rain storm for about an hour, and only the collar at the back of my T-shirt was damp, so the jacket is indeed 100%, or maybe 99.5% waterproof. I have yet to need the thermal lining, but that is more an effect of the fairing on my bike. The two liners, waterproof layer and thermal layer both can both be removed with ease. My only complaint is that the Velcro strip at the bottom of the zip channel has torn free of the jacket, suggesting that the Velcro is sronger than the stitching. However, it hasn't affected the use of the jacket in any way.One other bonus is that I suspect that due to it's colour scheme, a lot of car driver think I'm a cop when I approach them. No bad thing, really.
