Hi all,
Have just purchased online a Madison Tempest jacket, it looks & feels really nice, well made & will be warm. However i'm not 100% convinced on the cut. I previously had a Rapha classic softshell which wasn't that warm or waterproof when it slings it down but the cut was good. I have been reading the reviews on here re: the Endura & tried one on at my LBS and liked the fit, just wondering whether they are warm when the temp' drops to freezing and below? I ride every day whatever the weather so any views would be welcome before i send the Tempest back & go for the Endura.

Cheers :)

    the endura is stupidly warm. Just a baselayer underneath and I had to open the underarm zips @ about 3'c!

    Good fit, and very warm, i also just wear a baselayer underneath and pretty much always ride around with the pit zips open unless it's completely freezing.
