    Castelli leggero now £45 at Wiggle.... Just bought one, before the price drop, and it is brilliant. Nice little details and only 35 gram

    CRC have some good deals like this one. GB cycles too.

    Montane Featherlight - were going for about £35 on CRC a couple of weeks ago. Packs up small.

    I had one of them red bikes but I don't any more. Sad face.

    Did you ask advice on buying a jacket or did you ask the world what their favourite jacket happens to be? Cos the answers reflect the latter. Get something with a good reputable name. There are loads out there, don't be a sheep. Are you after one you can stick in a bag or pocket and pull on in a shower or something more bulky? Do you want pockets or just a back pouch? Hi vis or any colour suit you? Look for something that is not constrictive with a good waterproof layer . Then again a can of waterproof spray from north face would make a cheap one better. Look for slightly longer arms than look natural as when you are bent forward they can ride up and constrict your arms a bit. Maybe look for a decent bum flap to keep your backside and saddle dry. It's your choice what you are after really.
