Just thought i would share with you all. I have been looking for a jacket for tirding for a while. But 150 quid for a named windproof waterproof jacket is a joke.
This got me think army jackets. So a quick search on ebay got me a ex army new gortex jacket for 45 quid.
This worn with my endura baa baa is totaly brill wore it today and it felt lightt to ride in and i was warm enough.
so if ya looking ofr a jacket check out the army stores for gortex.
cheers geordie

Being ex military, they are unlined, no cut and designed to be invisible. Not any of the things on my list of requirements for a good jacket. Yes Gore is expensive, but I figure that the £100 I spent 6 years ago has well been repaid and if I'm honest I could get another two out of it even though I commute. I rode around work a few times in my mil spec one, now I like sailing but not on the bike.Neil

My Gore tex DPM camo jacket remains in the same place, in the shed, from when it was last put away after a fishing trip 4 years ago.
It still amazes me that there is not one single Hi Viz Gore Tex commuting jacket available with a decent amount of reflective material on the back. No wonder the guy from Lightweights.org sells so many of those reflective clothing stickers.0 -
