That''s mine ordered too - 1 Black medium. Wish I had found a green one though... Oh well, for that price I can't complain. +3 on pit zips.
I'll shout STW massif when I someone else wearing one, you's shout back!
Another impulse buy here. But even if I fold it up and stick it out the way till Ive wrecked my other coats it will do the job for a song.
cheers all.
anyone know if they are a baggy cut?
Just ordered a large 🙂

Genius...
Been looking for a top. £36... 😆
Looks like the crap Regatta knocks out!
Unsurprising as they are a sister company.

Indeed. I am wondering why everyone is getting so carried away about this. You can get better Montane jackets for the same price in the sales.

Oh, link please Jamie - I'd be very interested in those.
Edit: wrong thread. 😳
Black is far from ideal riding on the road and also on the trail. I like to have some degree of visibility to other road users and trail dwellers. Flo green is a horrid colour though. Not too offended by orange though
Could anyone give me an idea on sizing.
I usually hover between a small and medium depending on the make and baggyness. I am 5 foot 6 with a 38-40 chest
Sizing chart on website, would put you as a medium.

FAIL

Firstly, there are none in stock, I can't add one to the basket.
Second, I don't see pit zips, front pockets, adjustable hem, adjustable cuffs. The hood also looks very naff, no wire peak or any adjustability at the rear. All of which are fairly essential for the nature of the sport.
try again?
that looks like a middle aged mans berghaus caggy
Being a middle aged man I'm glad I ordered mine before they ran out of stock and it stopped snowing 😉
the montane one that is
The close up of the jacket on their site isn't the most flattering. The water isn't beading very well at all, which suggests poor waterproofing ability. Still for 40 quid what can you really expect. Probably OK for light rain.
What's a pit zip then?
As an an alternative just spotted this

£20 for gore windstopper soft-shell seems pretty good. Meant for golf so not sure what the cut would be like and doesn't lok like there's refletives but no hood which personally I prefer. On sale Thursday
gore - where is that mentioned?
IF anyone has ordered a Medium size and it doesn't fit - i'll happily buy it off you!
Need a soft-shell as my waterproof is just too claggy.
Ive ordered a medium and a large so you may be in luck, ill let you know.
bought a large and may need a medium, swap shop?
OI - it's mine first! 😯
EDIT: Will offer dave first! But if you need the medium, and I need the large, would be happy to swap.
that was ageneral post not specific dave, keep your pants on!
Enter TB10 and get an extra 10% and free delivery ! Makes it £33.75 less 6% cashback .
Aye no worries, was only jesting also.
If I was on the outlook for MTB clothing Montane would be my first port of call. Their stuff actually works!! Dare2be, pffft wouldn't pay that much for their stuff IMHO.
If you rearrange the words and change a few letters in the Aldi description it is a gore wind stopper soft shell !
Bought a medium but may require a large for everyone's reference for future swaps. email in profile but will also post on this thread if I'm too chubby!

Under arm zips to allow cool air in around your sweaty arm pits 😉

Hows Dad?
Ae on Sunday for 11am ?...see mtbe forum. Davyg and his mates coming over from Stranraer.
They offer exhanges just incase anyone hadnt seen that on the site, plus their own return insured postage for £3.50
ruscle - i have mailed you in case i need a swap buddy
Regardless of price, i find bike jackets are pretty disposable items. The amount they get sh1t up and need washing, nothing ever keeps beading water or breathes that well just cos cycling is pretty exerting.
So for 30 quid odd, seems reasonable.
to be honest im not one to go out for a ride if it's tipping it down with rain.
If, however, it starts raining whilst I am out, a water repellent jacket would be nice.
I Got one of these. http://www.craghoppers.com/buy/byron-gore-tex-jacket-189177 and at £80 incuding post i thought it was a good price for a gore-tex jacket.Fully waterproof and breathable.
Just got he dare2b jacket
In xl, too small and hey have sold out of xxl
Before I return does anyone want an xl, ll let them have it for what it cost me £37
It's a great looking jacket, materiel looks good quality, if it fit I would be keeping it
