I'm thinking of an Endura Convert II because it looks nice, seems well made and is good value... BUT Is it actually worth lashing out on something like (A Pace) E-Vent? Is E-Vent noticeably more breathable (I do sweat a bit) then cheaper fabrics, for instance? Does it rip easily? (Clumsy git, me) I'm probably not going to use it all that much but I'm doing some rides in the Lakes/Wales/Alps in the next few months so it might be worth its weight in gold if the weather turns bad. I'm also looking at a Montane E-Vent, are they any good? Waterproof? Anything else I should consider? Ta muchly! :)

I have a Montane Stormrider. Its pretty much my perfect riding jacket and breathes superbly, but I'm a bit disappointed by the DWR coating, which doesn't seem to be as durable as previous jackets I've had.

I just won a Montane E-Vent jacket off Ebay for £53 posted, I think it's worth about £140-£160 and he says it's 'as new' so I'm pretty chuffed with that. Thanks for the advice everyone....
