Out for a 2/3 hour ride in a bit of northern drizzle on friday wearing my newish altura react coat and came back soaking wet through. This is my second react jacket as i had the same problem with the first one purchased (the good people at Merlin replaced it.)
The problem would seem to be that there is no beading on the outside, so it can’t breath from the inside, and being a sweaty fecker i come back wetter than a wet thing.
All the reviews of the coat are good and merlin say they haven’t had any others returned, but i spoke to one of the guys at Cyclewise and they had had a problem with one of theirs.
