Can't recommend my Decathlon "walkers" version [i]enough[/i].. I know you haven't asked for a biking one, but I've used it for winter biking over the last two winters. Probably not as soft as the more expensive versions, but it works darn well.

Decathlon stock a number of different one for cycling/walking, if there a store near you go and take a look-see

I've been wearing this for over a year now and it's been spot on. A real bargain for the money

It's pretty lightweight, though I like that as I'm a sweaty beast, even in really cold weather.

I got one of the Dare2b ones last year when they were really cheap - saw me through a winter of commuting on the bike and has worked rather well as a windproof off the bike since.

Trespass one is pretty nice- very well priced, maybe not quite as water resistant as some. Check the stitching though, their QC seems a bit iffy.

i picked one up from blacks - technicals in a sale the other week

£15 bingo. i only went in cos i was out in town in a T-shirt and the heavens opened.

its a little lighter than the web-tex one i already have and seems just as waterproof.

TK MAxx supplied me a Nike one that was ace till I totalled the elbow falling off on ice. Worth a rummage every now and then, fulfils the hunter/gatherer instinct 🙂
