Cycling jacket

[nobby]

Returning to cycle touring after a long gap I don't know where my old Greenspot jacket has gone, and it seems they are out of business.
What do people recommend and use nowadays?

Cheers

I use a wind proof water proof gortex coat and legins nice and light lets you breath i find you get what yiu pay for

Any particular make, Gary?

[gary]

Yes sorry nobby It is called Paramo have had them for years expensive but very good value and you dont get wet from the inside they are truly breathable.

Thanks Gary
I have looked at Paramo's website and there is quite a selection. Any idea which model it is that you have found satisfactory?

[gary]

I am afraid they no longer make the one I where however as guidance I would find your local stockest and try a few styles on ensure the coat is long in the back I choose light weight as you can put layers on in winter and still use the coat in summer. I strongly reccomend trying on at your stockest untill you find what is good for you it is a big investment I use mine for walking as well.

Thanks to all who helped.
After much pondering and trying on of various gear I bought Altura Night Vision jacket and Rush trousers from my local cycle shop who gave me a very good discount.
I'm almost looking forward to the rain!

On the subject of clothing.........could I suggest you visit www.cycleclothinguk.com
I've used them a few times and found service to be spot on.
They have gear for Men, Ladies, Kids, summer, winter, etc.
