We will be in touch
I'm wanting a soft shell for those cold but not wet winter rides, I purchased an Endura Convert but, erm, the rather tight fitting doesnt match my 40 year old anti six pack figure..
can anyone recommend a soft shell with a more "trail" cut ?
Cheers.
endurance stealth is more of the same.
madisons own brand is more roomy.
look at dakine for the more "freeride cut " 😉

gore phantom. even fits my 50 year old belly ;0
many thanks 🙂 and not one comment to get thin you fat £"(*$" !

+1 for the phantom
Opposite problem here, any fitted softshells for the slim gent?
Endura Stealth is a nice slim fit, gets my vote.
Cheers, Rich
The phantom is bloody hot though, even in winter
If you've got a Decathlon nearby, have a look at one of [url= http://www.decathlon.co.uk/EN/bionnassay-141401037/ ]these[/url].

It's the material not the brand that matters. Go cheap. Go Regatta.

That Endura Convert is fantastic.. wish it would have fit me.. but will work really well for a slimmer gent.
A cheaper alternative to Don Simon's suggestion is the [url= http://www.decathlon.co.uk/EN/forclaz-900-67849971/ ]Forclaz 900[/url] again from Decathlon, for £30. Seemingly the same material from the info on the website, no hood but same useful pitzips, though lacks hem drawcord which is a bit rubbish.
Great jacket, used mine throughout last winter, as I couldn't justify spending £90 for a Gore/Endura softshell, just to 'try'. Didn't ride in any huge rain storms, so can't tell how waterproof it really is, but was fine in showers I got caught by (I do ride in the rain, but was lucky last winter). There a fleese lined "warm" version too, but TBH I found this version more than warm enough, and used the pitzips all the time.
Edit: they also do for this year a "Forclaz 900 cuddly", which is seemingly Don's jacket but without the hood for a £5 less.
I've had a dare2b one for a couple of years now, very comfy, well made, and relatively cheap.

dare2b looks very good.. a few others on there and bargin prices. Its a [url= http://www.dare2b.com/buy/take-flight-windshell-183167 ]running one[/url], so not long at the back, but found it for £23 on the net.
Cheers !
