Ive been searching the net quite a bit trying to hunt down a good quality cycle jacket that folds into its back pocket. Ive previous purchased one of these from cycleclothing.co.uk but found that the zip broke after a couple of months.

Im only looking at spending in the region of 20 - 30 quid as I already have a good quality waterproof jacket for those really rainy days.

Was just looking for something compact that I could store in my saddle bag or back pocket. Any advice?

Cheers,
Joe

    Montane Featherlite? Just a hair above your price range but I like mine... It's not a stormproof, really no more than showerproof and windproof but it packs down tiny (size of a can of coke) Good for summer rides, you never have to think "Will I take a waterproof?"

    They do a gillet too which is the same only smaller, and no sleeves obviously. Another nice bit of summer kit, keep your body dry (well, dry ish) without boiling you. And ti's tinier, I reckon I could fit mine in my mouth.

    Why not try and fit it in your mouth and then post a pic?

    I have a Montane Featherlite Velo and I love it, I take it on every ride, unless it's raining and I'm wearing my waterproof jacket.
