Needs to fit 6ft 2 with a 38" chest, not luminous, fitted preferably with just a base layer
I'm waiting till I find a paramo fuera, they're usually just over that but frequently reduced. If its anything like my other paramo kit they'll be awesome
thinking more like a montane velo type material and packable
You can usually find the Montane's for around £30.
How 'bout this?
Howies DYFI from Wiggle?
Great jacket, windproof with breathable panels. You're between l and xl but they do free returns.

in my basket 🙂
Dyfi's are great. Come up slightly small.
Not waterproof but use with a long sleeve base layer to help this.
Great colours IMO
The paramo is 'ok', but only that in my estimation. flappy, doesn't provide significant benefit over the montane smock, is over twice the size packed and ( from memory ) something like 3 times the weight. It weighs only slightly less than my hagloffs softshell and that's a cracking piece of kit for 3 season use.
the montanes are good but i'd suggest go for the smock rather than the jacket as the zips are a bit fragile on the jackets.
Ordered 2 Howies Dyfi's - medium and large - see hoe they fair when they arrive and send one back 🙂
Used a £5 off £50 voucher - what happens when i send the wrong one back?
IIRC wiggle returns arent free if its the wrong size
I've sent clothing back before OK using the Collect+ label, maybe it's changed?
A large on me is perfect, reasonably fitted but more mtb than road though but not that long. I'm 6', 39" chest and 6' 2" arms.
I think there was a Montaine Velo in large on the classifieds the other day
EDIT
I've just checked and I was right - it was you selling it but unfortunately someone got in before you, you need to be a bit quicker. 🙂
Endura Pakajak - though that's more towards £40 sadly..
Also come up quite snug.
