I've got a gore one similar, windstop fabrics are awesome and they'll shrug off most showers with ease, need to pack a proper waterproof for downpours though.

They can be a bit warm on the other hand although I don't find mine too bad, and when I get a bit snug I can either remove the arms and wear it like a t-shirt or leave the zip open.

Showerproof is just a get out clause for meaning they'll work for a brief period of time, but not for more than 10 mins or so.

I have something similar to this, it's an Endura Windchill which has been great for me as it has thermal and windstopper bits to keep you warm.

I've got 2 different ones (1 Lidl and 1 Tresspass) but neither seem to be breathable.
Damn annoying, when I need to use it to keep the wind out I end up soaked inside jacket from condensation.

Stefan, personally you should just spend the extra cash and goretex jacket, would be worth it in the long run as the cheap jackets are not breathable and will fall apart fairly quickly.

But the past two weeks I been riding with : Base Layer, Jersey, Windchill Jacket and the MT500.

My wife got me the MT500 for my birthday and its fantastic. Warm and doesn't make me sweat like normal jackets.

I've got quite a few MT500 bits of gear and they are some of the best MTB kit I've had.

The windchill jacket I have myself and can't recommend it enough, but the reflective bits washed off really quickly (2-3 washes).

Anybody have any experience of TENN stuff?

Michelle's looking at getting me a breathable water/wind proof jacket for my birthday and found this...
http://www.tenn-outdoors.co.uk/sale-light-flo-ii-waterproof--breathable-cycling-jacket--hiviz-greenblack-s

I had a look and also found this on same site...
http://www.tenn-outdoors.co.uk/sale-mens-vapor-cycling-jacket--featherweight--hiviz-yellowgrey-sml

Both seem good value if they have the protection they say they offer and are breathable..

Or other suggestions for similar money?

They look pretty good online, would rather see one in the flesh to be sure, Muddy Fox stuff (our boys at Basildon) do a very similar looking jacket and its available in Sports Direct and about the same if not cheaper in price as its on sale (shorts and leggins also)

Cheers Dudes.. Talking about with a mate just now.. I'm gonna give my Trespass one another go tonight but this time try to wear the proper layers underneath to give it a chance to breathe as that's been my only complaint with it on previous rides..

Then if it works OK, I can get her to get my knee/shin -pads instead :)
