Bspoke Cycling Jacket

Does anyone own this jacket and know how waterproof it actually is?

ie is it good for ten minutes in a light shower or an hour in a downpour?

Thanks

That looks more like a sauna than a cycling jacket. Sorry I can't answer your question about how waterproof it is but that jacket looks completely unsuitable for cycling. Too long and bulky and too hot.

Depends on how you cycle.

All of my Surface 'normal' clothing works brilliantly on the bike and off it but afraid I can't comment on the above garment, being a guy for a start..

Some reviews..

Thanks iPete.

Tisn't actually for me - I have a rather awesome Gore cycling jacket - but my sis walks the kids to school and back / general out and about type stuff and she's sick of getting soaked but would like to look semi-normal while she's out and about and I thought this jacket might fit the bill. Or not.
