Well don't know how it works Hobo, but it does for me.

I dont know if you can still get them but I use a Pertex Buffalo windshirt. Worn over my coolmax bike jersey it's fantastic and can keep you warm but not sweaty at all.

That prob the point there misty. What works for one is entirely diff from someone else. Takes quite a few mistakes to realise what works and what doesnt for each person to be comfortable.

I use some really thin Nike ATG trainers for riding in. I have goretex boots but find that once the water gets in they are horrible. The nike ones let the water in, no problem. But they dont hold it and once things get a little drier, they dry out quick smart. I find this suits me. Others would hate it.

update on my comment about those Endura Stikes... they arent remotely waterproof. They're being returned to CRC. Shame, most Endura stuff is good.

Another vote for the Gore N2S from me. I have the 2004 version (with the zip off arms) and it is the best piece of cycling clobber I have ever bought. 0-25 dg isnt a joke. Though have to say I've just bought a Paclite Storm-Fit jacket for the winter months (though i've got through 2 winter with just the N2S so far), I guess I'm turning into a whuss in my old age!

Yeah, I also have the Buffalo Pertex windshirt and you can still get them.

It works and it's very versatile.

Thats what I use cheeky, just a 12year old version of that, great tool, packs down to nothing and weight nothing.

yeah that's the same as mine! same luverlee purple as well!

We should form a Pertex Buffalo club :)

Shows up well at night which is a bonus.

So much still to buy...aarrgghh

...'just a 12year old version of that'..

Dylan, you are not THAT old..!?!? I got mine last year.

oh he is, he is...


:-)

I am, it actually looks the same, didn't know the velcro hood attachment was there until I looked :)

Tough material, I've rock climbed in it, hill walked, crashed the MTB, snagged with with thorns and still looks perfect.

Was only £25 when I bought it to, over doubled no longer in my disposable list.
