Madison Addict jacket – anyone got one?

Hi all,

http://www.tredz.co.uk/.Madison-Addict-3-Layer-Waterproof-Storm-Cycling-Jacket_68734.htm

Anyone got one? How do you rate it?

I’d like to use it more as a general outdoor jacket, for hiking etc – how would it fare for that kind of use? Is the hood too large to work well without a helmet on?

Ta,
Duane.

Anyone?

Laurence may be able to help you 😉

Who?

Still waiting for him to reply to me 😉

I have one. It is OK. I get hot in it, but then I get hot in any jacket if riding. It vents quite well and seems to breathe reasonably well. I have a large that fits OK, and I am not a ‘slim fit’ fella

I have one in orange, used just on the bike. I like it, keeps the rain out and comfortable. I also find it quite warm so generally don’t wear heavy layers under it. After getting manky riding through winter it never cleaned up as if new always looking a bit gruby. Also ripped when I fell off the bike but suspect any jacket would have done so in that fall.

OK, thanks. How big is the hood – would it look/feel silly to wear it without a helmet on?

How tall are you, what shirt size do you wear etc etc? I’m just over 6ft, normally wear a med shirt, 15.5″collar, but was thinking a large if I’m wanting to layer up underneath

172 cm, 42″ chest, 16″ collar. L is a snug fit, XL was baggy. Actively trying to lose a bit of weight, so jacket fit is additional motivator…

OK thanks. Thoughts on hood size?

Haven’t ridden with mine on yet, but the hood is massive!

Hood is removable so I just took it off.

Why so many pockets on a biking jacket?? Just give me plain and simple. Waaaarggghh.

Just got one, never worn it out yet but nice looking bit of kit. Probably of no help, sorry.

Just waiting for mine to arrive – only 89.99 at ukbikesdepot at the moment.
9/10 in this months MBR jacket test….

Thanks for the link BFITH just ordered one for myself
