“How long do you tend to ride for OP, and whats the worst weather you plan to be out in?”
We do 3-5 hour rides around north Surrey. In the winter that can mean all sorts of weather. The majority though would be dry but with outings in showers and the occasion downpour.
“I have just ordered one of those Nukeproof Blackline today (through CRC giving an extra 10% off them just now) as it looks same as the Nirvana that got good reviews (including here on STW). I’ll let you know how it goes when it turns up.”
“@Dynamiccoins I have the Nukeproof. It is very lightweight and packs down very small. Seems ok, though I have yet to use it in a really heavy, prolonged downpour.”
Thanks.
I’ll have a look at the Endure stuff.
