Which winter jacket?

[damci]

Have a budget of £50-£55 to spend on a winter cycling jacket. Will be used everyday on my 15 mile round trip commute. Must be warm, breathable and most importantly it must be reflective.

My short list so far-

Altura Nevis
Endura Rebound
Altura Night Vision

Anyone got any recommendations or have one of the above? Any good?

Have you looked at the Gore Bikewear kit? I like a lot of their running and cycling stuff.

[damci]

I like the Gore stuff but it’s a bit over budget. I need to spend as little as possible!

Agree that Gore is quite pricey, I'm sure it's good quality though.

I generally go for Endura - it fits well, looks good and is very well priced. I don't know the names of the stuff I have but CRC always have a good selection.

Answered your own question their. For visibility this ones hard to beat. Lights you up like a christmas tree under headlights.

Think I will go for this one just hope its warm enough, that was my only concern.

Just stick another wicking layer on underneath it if need be (avoid cotton of course!).

Got an Altura Night vision jacket and trousers in Black. Waterproof and windproof but breathable enough for the climbs on my commute. Can't fault them so far.(paid £100 for both inc delivery from ebay seller)
