As title, any recommendations for a bike jacket (or other softshell with a dropped tail) that won't make me look too much of a nob in the boozer?
I have an Endura Windchill which is great, but makes me look like a black and white sausage off the bike...
Yes, I am being (slightly) ironic 😉
berghaus softshell. i have one and its mint.
tho i had a regatta one that i got in CCC's for £19 and it was proper good for about a year and now isnt waterproof at all. good value tho, a 5th of the price of berghaus. but definately not 5 times worse.
Charge surface stuff is aimed at that market IIRC

Thanks for suggestions, although I draw the line at Rapha 😉
Any other bike ones?
Howies used to do some not-too-bikey bike jackets but they only seem to do that strippagram jacket now
RF Hoodlum. Some NF and Arcteryx (sp) stuff. pricey tho.
I got my fave one in Zara 😀
I've had one of these for a while in the grey, very comfy, good cut for the pootle to the pub...

Less than half price about 6 months ago form Alpine Bikes. I wear it too much TBH.
Nowhere has the Surface ones yet I don't think. Does look rather smart.
hpsource; that Dare2b jacket looks quite nice actually. I'm looking for something a bit lighter than my winter jacket, Spring/Autumn/chilly Summer evening type thing. Would that be a good buy?
That Northwave jacket is really quite 'bikey', no?
Rapha's undoubtedly nice, but I'm put off by the ponceyness of their brand. Not to mention the price...

Hand knitted in Kathmandu...
Please. It's made in a sweatshop in a 3rd World country, like everyone else's stuff. Stop being so pretentious.
