I have a Bellroy ‘Very Protective’ in black – it suits my needs perfectly and it does seem waterproof – although /bellroy claim ‘Water Resistant’ – pleasing to see an ‘underclaim’ 🙂
Wan’t cheap (£48 IIRC) but wearing really well and so compact!

How did that go Ming?
lasers! hurrah for them.
Flipflops! http://singletrackworld.com/forum/my-plugins/bbcode-buttons/default/icon_mad.gif
Will testify that the Belroy kit is nice and if treated from time to time (as leather should be) it should be a product for life.
Did a Giro gilet also arrive? I want to try one for size.
£169 for a Pertex windproof!! Blimey.
Hi Dave, I fractured my scaphoid and was off the bike for 4 days. The doctor said I needed to keep it moving, so I filed down my cast so I could grip the bars and went dirt jumping (small ones) and street riding by the weekend. It was a bit sore during this time but I just got on with it. Trail riding was fine though. It seems ok now.
mini pump group-test on the way? 🙂
