[Closed] What commuter jacket?

I've an Endura Lazer. It's orange rather than "Cyclist Green", which I prefer. Minimal features, other than a rear zipped pocket. Plenty of reflective stuff. Never leaked yet and, provided I have the right layers* underneath, never gets too sweaty even with a rucsac. I've commuted with it pretty much every day since the summer.

*Cotton work shirt plus either an Aldi merino jumper or a cheap fleece jumper. If it's really tipping it down, the shirt goes in my bag and gets replaced with a merino base layer.

Not the cheapest but the brightest I've found is the [url= http://www.roadcyclinguk.com/news/article/mps/uan/3612 ]Edura Luminite[/url]. It has an LED strip in the tail and lots of reflective stuff. I was wearing mine when I fell and slid on the tarmac for 20m, it has a small (20mm) tear and protected my arms well.

Bit sweaty though if you ride fast.

I've been using a hivis Altura Nightvision since last summer for daily commuting and can totally recommend it.

I use a Polaris orange dayglo jobbie from Halfords which claims to be breathable. It's not too bad for commuting though and only cost 20-30 quid

I've got an altura cropton - it's not properly waterproof, but good enough for showers - keeps the wind off, actually breathable*, packs down tiny and dead cheap. Don't really bother with a waterproof since I fitted mudguards.

*anything waterproof (including expensive ones) always seems to be breathable only when you're not putting any effort in / sweating.

Altura Nevis or Nighvision

primark are doing luminous yellow waterproof (ithink) shell jackets
for a bout 14 quid? Probably not very breathable though.

Altura nevis is serving me well. In fact its the only jacket I have so see's a fair bit of action. Doesnt get too sweaty but I've never owned anything in Goretex or E'vent so cant compare.

cheers all. ended up going for an altura nevis for £36 from tredz which looks like decent value.
