 |  | | Posted: 21/12/03 | | 'SUPERB VALUE HARDCORE JACKET' |  | Strengths: Pretty cheap for a fully waterproof jacket. Good storage and enormous pit zips (which you'll need). It really is tough, gave it a proper pasting yesterday on the Yorkshire moors as i flew down a descent and took a flyer over the bars and landed on my right side, i got pain from landing on rocks, jacket got away with nothing more than a mud covering. Looks pretty stylish too, have taken to just wearing it out when it's raining. |  | Weaknesses: The jacket is 99.99% waterproof, eventually some water does soak in but then i was riding through fog for 4 hours... It's not THAT breathable, we stopped off for a break in the cold and i was literally steaming, it gets toasty and damp inside. |  | Overall: If you're after a tough waterproof jacket that'll take some serious knocks then look no further, i don't think anyone makes anything as strong as this. Pretty cheap too considering the aquanot is almost exactly the same (less the abrasion patches). £70, bargain. I'm really impressed with this jacket, comes highly recommended. |
