sorry another which jacket thread

andy83

Looking for a decent jacket to keep me warm during colder times, currently only have a thin windproof atm which is ok with bib, base layer and ls cycle top but would like summin bit warmer

preferably off wiggle as i have some vouchers for there

also unsure whether to get decent waterproof or windproof, the otption just confuse me lol

budget around £60 i know i aint going to get much for that but its about my budget as have a fair amount of other stuff i need

thanks

Andy - I bought the Gore Phantom Windstopper yesterday and it's the absolute business. I'm prone to getting cold on the bike, but this jacket just doesn't let any cold air in. I wore it yesterday afternoon with a baselayer and short sleeved cycling top. It's brilliant. Best jacket I've ever bought. It's 98 quid in Evans, although it may be in Wiggle's 10% off January sales. It also repels water for a certain amount of time (I don't know for how long).

For the commute, I use the Altura Night Vision jacket - cost about 60 quid. It's not particularly breathable, but I never get cold in it and it keeps the British rain out. So this might suit both your needs. It might come in black too, so it doesn't look as skanky as my lumo yellow one (it badly needs a wash).
