this cold spell has got me really thiking this could be the answer to a very cold 7 mile each way commute?
anyone use any of the the above?
cheers
yes i ride with one on cold days. you can cool down easy with them too. zip back up and as you know,the heats there. really good when it drops below zero.
I don't ride with one, but if you want a jacket rather than a smock, you can get the Montane Prism direct from here http://www.montane.co.uk/shop/limited-edition-prism-jacket for a very reasonable £80 - and half of that goes to support Mountain Rescue in England and Wales.
I bought one as an emergency warm layer in the event of punctures & mechanicals.
I've started (today) wearing a Buffalo Special Six for winter commuting. It has a fantastic drop tail that sits over the back of the saddle, and goes from warm to cold and back pretty quickly.
Buffalo + 1
Works really well, even when it is wet and more importantly has lots of ventilation options.
I would definitely recommend you at least try one on/look at it before purchasing others.
I also have a Rab Generator Smock (Primaloft synthetic mallarkey) and although it is also warm and works when wet. It lacks ventilation and a drop tail.
i ahve a buffalo thats now 15 years old, i still get a little too hot in it, also i need a jacket at work sometimes and tbh after 15 years of white water kayaking it gets pongy fairly quickly. may look at the prism.
