As above really?

Riding in the Peaks where it likes to rain all year, I need something properly waterproof but also pretty breathable.

I am limited to what Halfords can source but I think they can get:

Gore, Race Face, Altura, Northwave, 661, Madison and a few others

suggestions please?!

thanks

Altura Crosslite works well for me. Ticks both boxes, you can pick them up for as little as £50 on some sites

Has the Crosslite been discontinued? I can't see on the zyro website..

I didn't think so... the lack of product info on zyro suggests otherwise though!
Review on bike radar: picked up one at christmas from cyclestore for £50

Hmmm it looks a bargain but I need something Halfords can definitely get hold of ( C2W voucher)

I have the maddison one - its a bit of a sweatbox (but it was a gift!)
Try pace... I know someone who has one and it is better than mine for breathability...

I thought halfords could order anything from anywhere on the C2W??
If that were the case the Pace 3X3 event jacket would be my choice.

They can order most things but there are a couple of brands they can't source; endura and five ten for example.

I'll have to check re Pace , ta
