I'm looking for a lightweight rain jacket, ideally one that is fitted, the ones I have tried so far I may as well ride under a tent, looking to spend £30-£50 cheers.

    I have a fitted one from Decathlon that was 7 quid. I sweat like a glassblowers ar5e in this in anything but very cold temperatures but it is fine and very waterproof.

    I also have a Rapha stowaway that was a fair bit more. This is more 'showerproof' but it keeps my temperature very well regulated and fairly dry too. It is my second favourite item of cycle clothing.

    Sorry NapoleonD, but just what is your favourite item of cycle clothing ?

    sweating like a glass blowers arse? Would that be as bad as sweating like a paedophile in a creche? :twisted:

    Seems pretty good so far.
  • This year I bought an OMM Vail jacket (I paid £64). Used it the other day when it was pouring down and it was ace, I did not boil over, lightweight, stretchy packs down to a small size. Google the name and get more from the site - a brilliant product. :D:D:D
