thinking about ordering one of these to replace a slightly too large Phantom. I also have a Stealth, so looking for something a bit lighter. Will be used mainly off road, temp +5 upwards, to keep chill off and light rain at bay, over a base layer.
I've got one of the newer Windchill II jackets, not that there seems much difference. It's a good jacket on and off road in the colder months - too hot for this time of year. Seems to be reasonably showerproof too.
Like mine, just a shame that the stitching started coming undone on the cuffs. Love it for autumn riding though.
thanks for replies so far - it's the Mk 11 that I'd be going for and sounds exactly what I am after, cheers.
I have a lot of Endura stuff and like it. I know the workmanship can be iffy, but the warranty is good when required !
Got one last winter and worn on road only. Was great when it was proper cold, but couldn't wear it much above +5 degrees C as too warm. Even then only needed a short sleeve base under it unless it was below freezing.
I would echo rocket's comments - I think it's a great winter jacket with just a base layer underneath. Plenty of big reflective bits to add a bit of night time visibility too.
For milder weather (10degC give or take a bit) I've got an MT500 fleece jacket which is great too - a densely woven fleece but not completely windproof.
It needs to be [u]cold[/u] for me to be able to wear it with a base layer. Even then I get quite sweaty in the arms but it is a great top.
Bought the gilet last year, seemed a better compromise as can be worn with arm warmers one can just take off when you get too hot.
