I have several jackets purchased as waterproof's, (but all are actually pants)... by that I mean useless. They all let water in.
I need a proper waterproof jacket for commuting. Something I can wear for riding to work, then for the walk into town at lunchtime. I want a hood, visibility and hand pockets. What are my options?
Check sports pursuit out big sales on berghaus etc all over half price off
Waterproof you say? Paramo.
[url= http://www.cotswoldoutdoor.com/index.cfm/dep/rock-bottom-offers/cat/discount-waterproofs/fuseaction/products.list/group/622/level/2 ]I got a Hagloff 1/2price and nearly bought a Rab recently on a tour of local shops clearance rail. Also got a Rab Primaloft down from £160 for £20! Was 1/2 price, further reduced and I had some vouchers from work....[/url]
A guy I did a hill walk course with from Glenmore Lodge reckoned the good old fashioned wax jackets/coats are still way better than today's hitch offerings if looked after. Belstaff & Barbour are currently quite fashionable but I am sure a visit to a proper huntin'shootin'fishin shop you could find something better

Pants worn in that applications are actually called [url= http://www.regretsy.com/2012/09/29/skants-2/ ]Skants[/url]
I'd suggest Paramo too, although it depends how furious a cyclist you are on your commute as they can be quite warm. But its a balance between being to warm on the bike and warm enough off. Check ebay for [url= http://stores.ebay.co.uk/paramoseconds ]Paramo Seconds[/url] occasionally very bargaintastic.
umm do you want hiviz - cos i got a nice P/Izumi one for sale that has a stowaway cycle hood and a stowaway rear back flap and front pockets.... its a relaxed fit rather than tight roady.
