Can anyone recommend a mtb casual softshell? somet you could wear down the pub.

I liked the idea of [url= http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/one-industries-atmosphere-soft-shell-jacket-2015/rp-prod112745 ]this[/url] but the fit was weird, designed for armour underneath I think.

hagloffs boa. a good weight, casual cut, long arms, hood that will go over a helmet if required but is otherwise unobtrusive, and a nice collar to hide behind when it's a bit snotty.
edit: breathes well, shrugs off water pretty well until you inevitably kill the DWR with washing, and doesn't hold much water when it does wet out.

Any others recommended?

I'd go browsing at a decent outdoor gear shop tbh. There are loads of presentable jackets that'd work on the bike as well. Or have a browse of Sport Pursuit which specialises on end of line stuff of just this sort of ilk.

I use my Arc'teryx and TNF softshells now since I've stopped climbing and they are ideal cut wise and warm for the winter rides

look in a builders / H&S type shop as they have softshell hoodies for wearing on site.

winstanleys still have Montane dyno in stock, God knows why montane stopped making them, awesome jackets.

How could I forget! I wear a surface softshell hoodie here there and everywhere. Great bit of kit, but a bit warmer than the montane.
