I have started commuting to school now and have realised that my jacket is only 50% waterproof, so I need a cheap waterproof jacket, I am looking at the
Endura Laser 2 ( http://www.westbrookcycles.co.uk/clothi ... gn=froogle )
as it is well in my price range and bikeradars review of it is good. Anyone out there got any better ideas?

    price match an endura convert 2 for 52.99 at SBR Sports with Chain reaction cycles.
    Visit Clacton during the School holidays - it's like a never ending freak show.

  • yo,
    for cheap, try decathlon - they do similar type things to that for less than 15 quid i think. obviously won't come with so many whistles and bells, but dry's dry. or, keep an eye out for the millet's/black's shops closing down sales - picked myself up one of those kag-in-a-bag thingies for £6 last month and it works wonders, with the advantage of being able to pack it up and clip it to a belt loop if not needed.

    Yeah, I have the Laser jacket. Can`t fault it really and it did keep my top half dry yesterday unlike my `waterproof` socks and expensive `waterproof` North Face boots

    the LAser certainly seems like a good jacket...
