If you sweat as much as me, no waterproof material is going to wick the moisture away fast enough, I found the 'Buffalo Teclite shirt' the best solution.
Don't care if I get wet as long as I'm not jibbering with cold. Similar styling to your Paramo smock too. Well toasty, well vented and really fast drying. Just throw a base layer on underneath and you're good to go

Winter jacket needed. Looks like a minefield out there

Went for a Stealth after trying one on in the LBS. It fits like a glove aside from slightly long arms (I have very short arms). Looks very well made and I'm happy with the weight of the material. It will be warm but not too warm by the looks of things. Just waiting for rain now!

my stealth is great for cold weather, but i have never found it particularly waterproof? Its incredible for keeping you warm and the wind off, but water has never stayed at bay if its got seriously soggy out side! So mine needs washing what technique should i use to wash and re water proof? Heavy rain never beads off it boy more unlike my cheaper dhb one which beads of super heavy rain! Any tips, as i dont think you can tumble dry it either?

Are there any decent freeride styled jackets about - like the race face ones from a few years back.
Most on the market seem very XC orientated and im looking for something a bit more relaxed.
Like these
but not at £90 quid.

Wore the stealth on an epic club roadie run this afternoon. No rain but plenty of stop start riding and hanging around due to 6 punctures, 2 sidewall gashes, 1 snapped chain and a crash! Jacket kept me warm at all times but never overwarm. Pit/side zips provided plenty of ventilation. Great jacket so far. Weather looking nasty for tomorrows commute so hopefully I can report back on the waterproofing tomorrow.
