Would like the Endura MT500 but don’t like the price 🙄 I see Alpkit make one Argonaut how bike specific is it ? Not fussed about a hood , usually get Altura just wondered if I should be looking at anything else ? Looking for a bargain really 🙄

I usually just see what’s in the sales and check it doesn’t have horrible reviews.

Cyclestore are always worth a look… jackets here

Bought a Sugoi something or other off Sportpuruit for £90, easily the best jacket I’ve ever used.

Genuinely surprised how good it was.

Altura Mayhem 2 at Evans for £71.99 if you don’t mind it in black.

Altura Mayhem 2 at Evans for £71.99 if you don’t mind black.

Someone always recommends the Decathlon one for 60 quid. Looks decent.

Keela Saxon, usually available for about £60.

Sugoi NeoShell off SportPursuit – very good indeed.

There’s a few MT500’s on ebay. Depending on what size you are think the black small one is 95 pound. Take a look.

I’ve just bought one, the orange one from cyclestore for 125. Highly recommended it’s a great jacket so far.

As above, look around in sales. I got a Polaris Granite XO Storm for £50 (RRP £145) in one of my LBS last year.

Does anyone know if the Endura Singletrack on Cyclestore for £49.99 is a Women’s ?

Just ordered one from eBay for £12. I’ll let you know what’s it’s like! Lol

As per mark90.

I’ve spent a lot more on bike jackets that are nowhere near as good.

The one on Cyclestore looks like the older mens jacket (I have one in black). Also take a look in Go Outdoors they often have good deals on well known brands (RAB, Montane etc). I picked up an OEX (never heard of them either) for under £90 and it’s been great so far, not bike specific but hood fits over helmet and it has a slight dropped tail too (though less than MTB specific jackets).

Pace

+1 keela Saxon , ordered one following earlier thread, great pics of kit really happy with it £57 on Amazon

Alpkit email arrived today, Argonaut has £20 off.

I picked up a goretex berghaus mountain jacket for £35 off ebay on the weekend. Might be worth a look?

As mentioned above: Pace.

Tog24 have some good deals
On the clearance page

Berghaus and Tog24 ? Should have said it’s for MTBing

The Decathlon one (Forclaz) around £60 is excellent. I’ve got a couple, one for work and one for the bike.

Your search is over.

I have the Alpkit Balance and its superb but over £100 the arganout is with a punt as its reduced https://www.alpkit.com/products/argonaut-mens?utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Espresso%206th%20March%202019&utm_content=Espresso%206th%20March%202019+Version+A+CID_90898796897bab825cb5c998c4cbdfb1&utm_source=Email%20marketing%20software&utm_term=Mens%20Argonaut

Ended up finding Altura 540 their top of the tree for £48 odd! Supposed to retail at £170?

I wouldn’t spend 170 quid on anything made by Altura, everything I’ve had from them has been garbage. Hopefully your jacket is the exception.

I can highly recommend the Endura MT500, best jacket I’ve had.

Well, turns out my cheap eBay one is actually pretty good!

I doubt it has any breathability to speak of but for my purposes it’s fine.

As is mine. Gore-Tex Pro Shell, long-ish body with dropped tail, long arms, pit zips, storm flaps and a removable hood. Perfect for biking and will probably stand up to a good few ‘offs’

This one from tog24 is slightly heavier than the wife’s mt500 and has more reflective tape and a rear pocket, so pretty bike orientated.

X-Over Mens Milatex Jacket – Fire Red

@PoopScoop  @Cleetonator –  have you got a link?

edit: or were they one-offs?

I’ve got the decathlon inner linked to above. Not as a bike jacket busy just as a general waterproof jacket. Had it about a year and it still beads nicely and it’s never had a wash. I have long arms and the arm fit is really good.

Please remember, these are only £12 delivered and it will be a bit boil in the bag…. But it will do me as I am on a budget.👍

Tonnes of colours too….

As is mine. Gore-Tex Pro Shell, long-ish body with dropped tail, long arms, pit zips, storm flaps and a removable hood.

Just to be clear to anyone thinking of my ultra cheap option, Clees’ jacket is in a different league to the one I’ve got from his description!

Pays your money and takes your choice…😉
