    I have an Endura Stealth jacket I was thinking of selling. I think it's a medium.

    It was bought mid last winter, and used very little as I splashed out on an assos a little later, probably still have the receipt It's very waterproof and breathable though - £95 inc. postage if you want it. PM me if interested and I'll send you some photos and check the size.

    Err,

    I have some Amazon vouchers and want a jacket for commuting and training in. I can spend up to perhaps £170 and have been looking at the Gore Path. Any other suggestions (also using the remainder to purchase a Hope Vision One for training rides).

    Thanks

    Oh, I'd love that jacket but it's out of my budget! Lush!

    I use an Altura Night Vision jacket for winter commuting.
    It's quite a heavy duty jacket and I wouldn't use it other than when the temperatures are below 10degrees, other wise it can be a 'bit boil in the bag'!
    It's a great jacket though. Very high visibility. Very well made. Fits well. 3 large opening vents with heavy duty zips. I slid down the road in it, and there isn't a mark on it, so very robust too :)
