Hi all
now that the damp cold weather is creeping in, whats your prefered choice of top. I'm looking at the altura night vision windproof jacket (what you think) with maybe a light waterproof cape (for the back pocket) for the worst of the weather just in case i get caught out.

    I've got an Assos Airblock 851. Not the cheapest on the market, but certainly seems to be the kiddie.
    Not used it in anger as yet, but hopefully, it wont let me down... :oops:

    I've got the Assos and the Altura night vision. Assos is better made, but the Altura is very comfy and warm. The Assos is a good choice when it's really cold as it's closer fitting and a smidge warmer than the Altura. Of course the Altura's got good reflectives, so it's my choice for the evening rides.
