    The majority of waterproof jackets for £50 will make you sweat that much you'd be better off without it. Get a decent warm windproof - if you're warm, wet isn't a problem.
    Carlsberg don't make cycle clothing, but if they did it would probably still not be as good as Assos

    @ slowdowncp surely if the temperature is near 0 and your clothes are wet your bound to feel the cold? I'm not saying you're wrong I am new to cold weather commuting hence the question[/quote]

    You're better with a good quality windproof to keep warm, and a cheap £5 waterproof for the odd downpour

    Reccomend a good windproof then that would be suitable to use right through winter and a waterproof combo
