Anyone use this?

I am looking for a light weight summer jacket. Would ideally like a Gore Paclite but don't think I can afford it, so the Velocity looks like a potential alternative.

PS Am assuming summer will arrive at some point.

    wiggle has a massive discount on the gore jacket at the moment. Still puts it more expensive than the altura but not much more.
    I have montane h20 and love it. It's really light, did it's job in some really heavy rain on the way to Blackpool at the weekend, I didn't get too hot and when I'm not wearing it, it scrunches up into a little ball sized bag which you can attach onto your bike somewhere.
    Good luck choosing.

    Alas, the Wiggle offer on the Gore jacket was so good that they are now completely sold out, and the range has been discontinued.
