Waterproof/windproof jacket to fit over leathers.

Post by ninja »

As above. Any recommendations?
Must foldupable to be stuffed into a tank bag and not take up much space.

I'm thinking something aimed at cyclists, perhaps but in extra large.

Have I answered my own question? 🤔

I used something similar to Supermofo. Surprisingly effective.

Not riding in the bloody rain is even more effective. :P

What’s your budget?

This foldaway waterproof jacket is relatively cheap :o :lol:

I have been using a dare2B outdoor jacket i got from Go Outdoors in a sale as an over jacket for my leathers. Waterproof and windproof and folds up fairly small. I pack it for trips away as it gives me a "normal" jacket to wear when not riding.

I used to use a Brugi ski jacket for years i picked up in TK Maxx for about 25 quid rather than the 100 quid usual price tag
