Anybody got one of these? I'm normally a large in jackets but sometimes the sleeves aren't long enough so I have to go xl.
I've no chance of trying one one so can anyone enlighten me on their sizing?

I'm normally a medium and the medium Flux fits me fine.

Tried one of these at llandegla. Undecided between endura mtr and the flux. I was xl in the endura mtr but large in the flux was fine.

Where s good value for the flux at the moment, nobody locally seems to sell them in my lbs's in southampton.

Italian cut perhaps ๐Ÿ™‚

^^^^^ I have MTR and flux. The Endura is IMO one for going in the backpack if there is a risk of rain, whereas I use the flux on damp/wet rides from the outset.

What do you mean? The mtr isn't durable or is it not breathable enough except for emergency use but it packs down well etc?

The flux is breathable, durable and too bulky to stash?

I have an endura flyte jacket for those days it's really wet or cold bit it's no good on those stash it in your bag/ pocket days as it's weighty and doesn't pack down that small, certainly not small enough for a jersey pocket.

I quite fancied the madison flux softshell for those days when you need a jacket in your bag/ pocket just in case.

Burko - the Endura packs up tiny, the Madison less so. They both are lightweight, with the Madison breathing better - I can wear it on damp drizzly rides and not get too sweaty. The Endura can get a bit more clammy.

The Flux still packs up smaller than many hardshell ones and seems pretty good durability wise, I got mine from Evans

ive got one, and it's great. I usually wear a medium but sized down to a small as I doubt i'll wear more than a jersey beneath it, even when it's very cold. I also don't want it flapping around so

Like any waterproof, it does heat up inside, and if you wear a t shirt underneath, the arms get a bit sweaty, long sleeve stops this.

Can't recommend enough.
