TheGingerOne – I have relegated my RF jacket to night riding duties, where it is doing a good job, so no more embarrasing turning up in the same jacket moments 😆

Oh, and did I mention the snugflex 😉

Same RF as Northwind described, loved it but found it way too hot for riding in
Zip went also but got MiL to replace it (she good like that)
Still use when walking the dog etc but generally replaced with some Royal thing that is very nice ( and has slightly longer arms) Not sure on model but it’s black with red zip and detailing! Cost £40 when CrC had that big clothing sale back around August/September time

Thanks all. I may try that Dakine one.

It’s just for my 25m commute & dodging about town/pub when it’s cold (like now).

What about the Royal Alpine Storm?

reduced to £50

Saw that jambers…and a bloke came into the shop with one on so I tried it on! A bit heavy and didn’t look too windproof sadly.

It looks like what I want is unavailable (cycoling cut, with hood, decent fabric, like a Hoodlum)

EDIT oops I see you can buy Hoodlums!

2nd EDIT bah they’re all the ones with the minging print on the front or with the daft cuffs 😡

I was in TKmaxx the other day and they had a large selection of softshells at great prices, check them out.

Condor Softshell. Very similar to the Triple Aught Design (TAD Gear) but nowhere near the cost. Great with a decent fleece underneath.

Hmm TKs by never have any 🙁

Cheers Aphex, that may do the trick!

The Dakine one is half price at Extremepie.com and if you google there’s a 10% discount coupon – got mine for £64. er, can’t find it, hang on.

Well, that’s weird. When I ordered mine they had all sizes available and some on Ebay, now can’t find them at all.
Oh well, there are still a couple on ebay for £75 & £80

Ta Dez, with some help from theorangeone I think the Dakine will be too baggy. As fit is paramount I may not risk mail order.

I rode in in my Prism today to see how that would be. In fact it wasn’t too hot.

Has anyone got the merino planetx hoody that can comment on fit. Looking for something to stick to my skinny frame?
