looking for a close fitting zip up hoodie for riding/casual - ie popping into town/pub/shops by bicycle

so far the closest ive found ~(to give you an idea of what i want) is the bontrager race thermal jersey @ 70 quid - as in octobers fresh goods

Anyone seen anything else perhaps with a bit less colour ? close fit (designed like that rather than just buying a size smaller cause it wont fit me anywhere else ;))

I've got a Raceface Hoodlum. It's thick and warm and windproof, and beads water fairly well but it's way too short in the body for riding.

Mine's from a few years ago so they might have changed the design since?
EDIT Just looked at the new 2010 Hoodlum and it does look longer.

Hoodlum has gash colours and short arms - for arm length the body becomes baggy on me.

I do like the bontrager - i tried it on in shop last night and was tempted but wanted to see what else was out there . Alwaysriding.co.uk has a nicee swrve hoodie and even nicer ibex hoodie in the sale but the nice colour in large was outa stock ๐Ÿ™ had a look at apresriding and it was shit.

Had a look at ground effect couldnt see much of interest as its mostly merino so expensive. I like merino base layers but bit posh for a hoodie....
