Winter Jacket ?

yanktanks

Hi Guys,

I am starting to think about a waterproof winter Jacket I commute about 10 miles a day and ride trails at the weekend.

I have looked at the Madison Trail & Altura Night Vision Evo Can any on recommend anything else I should be Looking at that is not stupidly expensive.

Regards

Endura Gridlock without question. Fantastic value for money. Waterproof, surprisingly breathable, lots of reflective detailing, chest pocket, large pocket on lower rear, excellent zips, underarm zipped vents - what more could anyone possibly need? It`s not very packable but then it is designed as a commuter jacket. Can be had for just over £50 online or negotiate in your lbs for around £45 as I did. There are similar out there (inc Altura Nevis which I have also owned) but none offer such great quality and value for the money. Range of colours too!!

if you have a look on dare2b's site ( www.dare2b.com ) at the soft shells, they are more aimed at snow boarding but do make great cycling jackets! lovely in the winter,

I had a Grid lock and found it fine in winter but not breathable enough for warmer weather (autumn, spring). Also not that light. Well made, OK value & durable though.

If you can run to it, I'd highly recommend Gore. I bought one of their Oxford jackets over 10 yrs ago - still going strong. I think that model is no more but their stuff performs brilliantly in my view & cheaper than the very top end stuff like Assos.
