I'm looking for a budget jacket mainly for xc use that has some protection from the elements.

I have found the following at a reasonable prices:

Montane Featherlite Smock = £28
Altura Nevis 2009 = £35
Altura Crossmax = £32.50
Cannondale Morphis 2007 = £36


Anyone have any opinions or other suggestions for <£40

    I bought an Endura Laser last year and it has been outstanding. The bog-basic construction allows it to breathe well and apart from a little bit of corrosion on the zip it is hanging in there. May also be worth having a look round TK Maxx - I bought a Dare2B (Regatta) windshell for £30 to use over Winter. Some the the Animal Freeride kit is also being discounted.
  • I've got an Altura Nevis. It's fine. Keeps you dry, has good ventilation, fits well and has pockets for valuables - and you may still be able to pick it up free with a subscription to MBR :wink:
