Evening all,

I am looking for a decent jacket that's mainly waterproof, wind prove ish and more importantly breathable. I've been wearing my winter jacket recently and it's just too warm!

I don't particularly wanna break the bank and its got to be easy to stow away until needed.

All suggestions greatly received

Cheers

Jamie

Have a look in sports direct they sell some bike stuff or wu dproof walking jackets. Mine cost me about £20 from there

I got a Karrimor one from Sports Direct (don't laugh now). Lightweight, pretty breathable, scrunches into a tiny ball and good in the wind. I use it for road riding as it's not quite warm enough yet for just a top, and I stayed comfortable - didn't sweat that much at all in it. Best of all it only cost £12

Pearl Izumi Elite Barrier, good jacket at reasonable price and packs away nicely!

Sorry not sure what site, I think there are loads out there.

It was this jacket and only £35 here, http://www.militarymart.co.uk/index.php ... uct_id=616

my nice red gortex cost me about £100.
