Mountain Biking Waterproof Jacket

Post by Le_Fromage_Grande »

My 20 year old Alpine Stars waterproof over jacket has lost it's waterproof, are there any waterproof jackets that won't boil me in the bag available that don't require me to feel like I'm being financially raped.

If you have Mountain Whorehouse near you , there bright yellow cycling jackets can be had for 25 quid when they discount them. There are millions of the buggers all over the South Downs. Not very breathable or technical - and very flouro!
