ive had a altura pocket rocket for a few months now, and it just doesnt fit me right, ive only used it about 3 times in emergency rain, and it just rides up on me at the front, this is a size medium too! im usually a small....ive tried the large as well and again its still just riding to high at the front and generally quite ill fitting for my gangly features 🙁
so what else is there about? in prinicipal i love the pocket rocket, its very very light, packs up to the size of an apple, and is exxxxxxtremely waterproof
any ideas?
ps any one wanna buy a 3 ride old pocket rocket black in medium 😉
I really like my Endura Helium.

It's not quite apple-sized, but it packs up small enough to be stuffed in my Topeak Wedge with my tools and a tube.
It's also considerably better quality than the ultra-packable "poly bag with sleeves" jackets (Pakajak!), fits nicely and has nice features like off-centre zip, reflectives, media pocket and a high neck.
Montane featherlight velo.
Endura pakajak here - does the job well
+1 for the Montane. You need the H2O version to get waterproofness.
+2 on the Montane. Had mine about a year and the color has run from putting in the washing machine but it works a treat.
Keeps me dry but you have to keep moving, or layer up to keep the heat in.
I've got a Montane Singletrack and its very good.
Slightly heavier than the Velo for a bit more tear resistance but still very light and packs down really small
ok thanks whats the sizing like on montane? im usually a 36-38 inch chest, gore stuff is my usual choice and usually a medium in that brand, but they dont offer such a small packable jacket
will have a look at the pakajack too, like i said i dont mind the thin material of the pocket rocket, its a great jacket, just fits me terribly
Montane Singletrack here. Possibly slightly bigger than apple sized but certainly does the job. It's a snug but not tight fit and long in the body and arms.
Similar sizing to Gore - I have mediums in both.
I'm a 38" chest and usually take medium (Gore Path in medium is fine). I've got a featherlight velo in large and this is a comfortable fit (on top of lycra). Definitely not too big.
I'd be interested in your jacket.
What price are you looking for?
ping me at x-scotia@sky.com
+however many, Montane.
Got the featherlite, showerproof, small, comfortable.
Another happy Montane Featherlite Velo user here.
I've a Castelli Sottile that packs into a jersey pocket. I've used it a few timed in the rain, and I haven't boiled in the bag, even though I looks as if you would. I've also used it as an extra layer for early evening chill, when it also worked fine.
