Nobody around here sells a Gabba, and as I am desperate for something to wear tomorrow morning I just picked up one of these.

It was £12.99 today!

Did a test ride. Base layer only underneath. 5 degrees C outside and straight into a 20mph north easterly.
Completely wind proof and surprisingly slightly breathable it felt.
At that price it's hard to fault.

    Used mine winter last year, out when it was -4 with only chill cheater top (scuba base layer) underneath and it was excellent, so much so I bought a different coloured one this year as a spare. :)
  • Out this morning layered with Aldi vest, Aldi cycling base fleece, Aldi outer cycling top, Aldi cycling gloves, Aldi 'Buff', old Pro-Vision overshoes and unknown brand cycling tracksters.

    Head, body, arms and hands lovely and warm.
    Feet and knees bl**dy freezing..!!
    I'm not getting old... I'm just using lower gears......
