Had a fault with my MT500 jacket, returned and is treated under warranty replacement. All good. None in stock. Not so good. I could wait, but might be 6 weeks. - and the colour schemes don’t appeal so much ..
Anything else I should look at in same functionality, weight and features?
Thanks!
Madison have become my "go to" waterproofs in recent years, think their "Storm " is probably a similar spec.
PX Magma, brilliant convertible jacket, currently £35.
Just beware of the sizing, I'm ~38" chest and ~34" waist, I played it safe and bought the XL! I might have been ok with a L, but I very much doubt my normal M sizing would zip up.
Leatt 5.0?
I've had an MT500 for a while. When I originally got it I thought I maybe should have bought a mountaineering style jacket instead. I've now spent a winter riding in it and I reckon its the best MTB jacket for the winter I've had. Wee features like internal thumb loops etc are great. I've worn it loads and its still waterproof. I'd just get whatever colour there is and accept it's a riding jacket not a fashion jacket.
