Endura MTR Jacket or recommend something else?

Pete.R

I've had a search and not much has come up anywhere.

I'm looking for a new riding jacket for general trail riding. I don't normally wear one unless its either really cold or wet, so I want something I can keep in my pack but still be comfortable in for a few hours without overheating. I've been looking at the Endura MTR, helium and a couple of their other jackets. I've set myself a budget of £100 as I need to buy other kit for an alps trip next summer.

So what do you guys recommend?

My current jacket is a cheap £40 polaris number from halfords a few years ago. Its OK since it was nikwax'd and got me through some terrible weather, but not very breathable though.

Thanks in advance.

This just arrived in the post this morning, in blue - Colours are much brighter in the flesh.

I've just been out for a ride... Long sleeved base layer underneath and then just the jacket over the top. It was pretty cold this morning at around 2 degrees... Felt warm enough once I got going, but didn't feel too hot at any point.

Looks cool, decent fit in length and arms... I bought the XXL one... I'm 6'8'' and found it to be a good fit, slightly baggy around chest/middle - but then I'm a funny shape/size.

Two zipped pockets at front, one large at the rear. Hood is detachable, and neck/collar area comes up high to keep neck warm and has a bit of a fleece lining. A few bits of reflective material here and there so can get away with a bit of road use.

I'm pleased with it, after trying about 4 other jackets from £40 upwards.

Thanks for the reply. I'll have a look at the altura stuff
