I got my gilet for about £5 at Aldi and it does a very good job for the money.

Their jerseys are great value also.

Have a look on ebay, sometimes you can get them well below RRP - I did.

Seconded. Just debating if I can justify a second one in HiViz for when I'm road cycling.

I used my Endura Convert for the first time yesterday in the wind and the rain and found it to be excellent.

Just as a follow-up to previous post. I was getting something for a friend and so qualified for 10% off at Wiggle, so bought the Convert in hi-viz (as well as the black I already have). I don't think you can't grumble for the money.

Oh - and I don't know how others have found but despite what some sites/reviews say you CAN stuff the whole thing into it's own back pocket and zip it up. Mine has two velcro straps inside the pocket that once you've stuffed it, are on the outside and can be used to fix the "jacket in a packet" to your frame rather than carry it in a rucksack or whatever. Hope that makes sense!
