Which Waterproof Jacket?

-liam-

I want something that can just be rolled up and left in my backpack.

Do not want to spend anymore than 40 quid on a Fancy Cagoule

Does the Altura Nevis fit the bill ? Its not lined or anything is it ?

Any other ideas ?

Saw something I liked in the shop at Llandegla today. It was bright orange and 40 quid but I thought I could find it cheaper on the net but I can't remember if it is the same as the one above.

I have a Karrimore Jacket thats lightweight and folds into its own pocket keeps the worst of the weather, have on short sleeved yellow, one black.

I've got a bike specific karrimor jacket which is water proof but it is lined and more for winter use. Struggling to find anything light weight.

Hi,

I got one similar to this

Got it years ago. It works fine in a downpour-emergency. They fold up into themselves. Not very big when folded up either.

Bet they have cheaper ones on ebay.

I've got an Altura Nevis in the Blue (paid £50 for it :evil: )

Its lined with a lightweight mesh throughout but nice and light, folds down quite small and certainly keeps me dry and warm when the weather goes downhill

(not only that, it matches the blue I've got else where on the bike )

:oops: totally missed the bit about the Altura Nevis in the OP :oops:

Ive also got an Altura Nightvision (Black one), which looks similar to the Nevis, and has the same features. Just has a few reflective bits on it (which show up really brightly at night).

As jmillen says, they are lined with mesh. Was about £45 iirc.

I have the altura reflex.it's totally waterproof but more breathable than other waterproof jackets.the only thing that i missed from this jacket is a removable hood.
