[Closed] Howies Dyfi jacket £23.40 at Wiggle

thanks for that!

Ta. Needed that

Purchased one yesterday, cracking price that.

Edit: Also got a little extra off through topcashback 🙂

Thanks. Does anyone 6'5" ish have one and can give me guidance on size - more Chris Hoy than beanpole build, 44" chest. The size guide says XXL but I don't want a big flappy jacket.

I'm 6ft 4 and 44" nemesis and went with a XXL, worth a punt at that price. If it turns up today (was posted yesterday) I will report back.

Thanks. I guess I could buy XL and XXL and return one.

Convince me I don't need one to sit in the middle of a Montane Velo & Endura Convert...

Which is [i]exactly[/i] what I'm thinking (though the dyfi might be better for running)

How showerproof/breathable are they? Needing an emergency jacket at the moment. Possibly for the commute home.

Needing an emergency jacket at the moment. Possibly for the commute home.

I don't think it'll arrive in time...

Even if I forgo the haribo? 😕

If I can offer you any positives from this situation, it does look like it's gonna brighten up by home time... 😉

Leaving aside the specifics of todays weather forecast for a moment, I do need a new jacket, so my question still stands.

Having looked at it in more detail, I'm going to give it a miss on the basis it has very little reflectivity. This may, or may not, affect its suitability for commuting 😆

Yoink! Blue one ordered. Good spot!

Nice,

shame they haven't got them in mournful gaze or whispering yak but nice nonetheless

well i bought an orange one last weekend to accompany/replace the blue one I got last year.

It's my go-to jacket for more or less any situation that's not torrential rain or the height of winter, either on or off the bike.

I have the previous model in wistful ice sculpture. Just wondering whether to get an orange one to go with it.

How does the sizing compare to Howies non-bike clothes?

It's Wiggle. Just order a couple of sizes, and send back what you don't need via Collect+.

Gun to my head, tho, they do size up a bit small. I usually have small in Berghaus/Endura/Salomon jackets, and this is a medium.

Looks like I need one in right now after all... 🙁

I got one last time round and love it, lives in my Camelbak and used regularly. I an 5ft10 and 12 stone 2lb, 34 waist. The L was a bit tight for MTB so changed for an XL which is much better. It's more of a MTB than road cut anyway.

Anyone use these for running?

Its quite a flappy cut compared to likes of endura pakajak so wouldn't think great for running

Ah crap. Ordered now anyway. It'll have to be the ICE jacket in the pack I guess.

Endura Pakajak is jolly cheap in cyclesurgery

Is it super stashable? Like it fits in a small camelbak?

I wouldn't class it as stashable in the same way Montane Velo or similar lightweight pertex style jacket are. I.E: packing down to the size of an apple.

It can go down relatively small. Here is the previous incarnation.

Great info thanks. What ice cream was it? A magnum white I'll bet

A magnum white I'll bet

Nah, just regular. Have changed the pic, as remembered I had a Montane featherlite in a drawer.

I've got a black one already - very tempted by a brighter colour for the road bike.

Ok not small enough for me but thanks for the info

Ordered XL in orange - 41" chest so you guys had best be right about sizing up small!

Got soaked on the way home in my 20 year old Pertex jacket, thought it was time to replace.....

Also ordered XL in orange
Bought for winter road running
Thanks OP for heads up

They aren't waterproof.........

For £23, really?

I bought one and chuffed, but posts about needing one for a wet commute, so just offering clarity.
Sarcasm's cool though, ta.
😉

Sarcasm's cool though, ta.

Oh is it. Is it really. Well, I am sooooo glad you clarified that.

😛

Damn it - you bought all the xl's!

XXL is only 44ish, more like XL.

As mentioned earlier, they do size small, hence me having a medium when usually a small, so you might be ok with XXL.

Free returns, so not the end of the world if it don't fit.

I'm usually an xl's in howies stuff. I did order an XXL in orange before I posted though 🙂

I've an xL in Turkish delight billy ocean blue ........and it LEAKS LIKE A TEABAG.
Whilst I normally love a good tea bag, this is frankly not what I expected for a quarter ton.
Yours for £38.52.
Inflation' s a bee-atch.
Really.

Surely it's a windproof, and is not intended to be waterproof in any way? Not sure you checked the description boxelder...?
