I don't normally ride this late in the year, but i'm looking to buy something warmer to put over my long sleeve trail jersey. I think they are called soft shells. It doesn't need to be waterproof/showerproof as I don't ride in the wet, and i'd prefer something breathable. Removable sleeves would be interesting too. Any recommendations really appreciated. Pete

    Rab Vapour rise lite pull on or jacket. Best bit of kit I own!

    The Gore Bike Wear Element WS SO vest is around 70 and goes well over a jersey :D

    Bit pricey but all WindStopper is i suppose!

    Don't be tempted by the Planetx cheap soft shells.

    I got mine in a large (I'm a med/large normall) and the body is great, but the arms are too tight, don't breath and end up being sweaty/damp no matter what the temperature. Which is a shame.
