[#3439603]

Just ordered one, features to rival many £200+ jackets and only £42.25 delivered! Ok quality might not be up there but can't go wrong for that price, it not a cycle specific but has all the features you could want.

what waterproofisivisivisivity does it have?

and breathability? the spec only says water RESISTANT.

Think you will sweat like a pedophile in a creche in that TBH!!

EDIT: Still cheaper than my altura Jacket which isnt waterproof either.

It's a proper waterproof 3 layer soft shell with taped seams.

Awesome value. I totally don't need one but so tempted.

dare2be is the main "brand" of skiware at TK Maxx (at least round my way) so you could go there and try them on for fit.

Lol ultimate impulse buy! £36.82 delivered to my home address! Thanks for the code Zangolin!!!!!!

Need a jacket I can throw on and not care too much if it gets filthy or snagged on branches. This is ideal.

Cheers

and re: the paedo comment

Ilus D-Lab Softshell also offers a good level of breathability. The fabric is woven to ensure water cannot enter but perspiration can escape, whilst the wind resistant membrane ensures protection against the cold.

seth that a bonus not a drawback!

[i]Underarm ventilation zips[/i]

I've come to the conclusion breathability isn't worth the time said saying the word (as an eVent jacket owner), where as "pit-zip" are essential for MTB-ing.

Looks good. Nice one Tim (Zangolin). On sizing, I'm a 40andbit inch chest, 33 waist, medium or large? What have people been going for?

Im 39 in chest and went for the medium. Tryed on a regatta (dare2b sister company) jacket in medium and felt perfect, hope that helps.

@ Alex, I'm similar measurements and went for the Large as I'm 6'2" and need the extra length

Thanks both. I went for the larger as well being some gibbon-y in the arm and torso department. Also room for Xmas lardage. I reckon the Medium may not have been flattering 🙂 If it ends up being a parachute, I'll post back.

Couldn't resist either, look forward to seeing what I get for the money. At £37 all it needs to do is last until spring.

ps Thanks for the code Zangolin.

Not ordered that one, but have ordered a bright green one instead, fed up of wearing black or red.
