    Any one care to vouch for a new commuting jacket for me?

    Im looking for an unlined fully waterproof shell – not necessarily breathable.
    Pockets not necessary either – just something 100% waterproof that can be rolled up fairly small and is bright fluoro coloured, possible with some 3M reflective strips.
    Budget £25-40
    Cheers

    I just got one of these in red, 1st commute this morning and loved it, lots of reflective bits bit prob too expensive for your price range at £67?
    Last years model is £49, maybe cheaper elsewhere?

    cheers organic – bit pricey for what I need.
    I just want something that can lie in the bottom of the saddlebag and only come out for 3 mile ride across the city when it's pouring down….I got wet last night 🙁

    Cant think of anything that would fit in a saddlebag apart from a black bin liner/cheap festival poncho? depending on how big the saddlebag is? I only have room for a spare tube, tyre levers and multitool.

    I got a last year model Altura Night Vision for just over 40 on ebay. Like it so far but haven't had a really wet ride to test it yet.

    +1 for Altura Night Vision – used it for my London commute round the south circular before I moved north and it did the job nicely

    How's about an Aldi one?
