Anyone use one?

Not many reviews, the fit seemd tight, no stretch, not that breathable - is it much cop for short (5 mile) commuting with the odd shower/pub visit?

I've got one, I really like it BUT...... it's really REALLY un-breathable. I'd be far too warm cycling properly for 5 miles in it.

I dunno, I don't think I'd recommend it to anyone, but I like mine. It's nice having "normal" looking waterproof stuff. There's probably newer jackets that are better.

Cheers - worse than a waterproof?

Half price just now.

I agree with colonel wax. Order at least a size up and they're not breathable. I've been caught in some heavy rain though and can vouch for the impermeability.
I like the idea that you've got something waterproof that doesn't look like it is. And elbow patches.

Indeed, that prompted this thread.

It looks like the same ( or similar) material to the stuff Sombrio used for their Roam trousers. Looks nice but very stiff fabric and really clammy and sweaty.
