Just had to ditch mine on the roadside today. It was frickin ace and cost me £29 five years ago, so no way am I paying hundreds.
This one was like Roubaix fabric with tiny nylon dots on the front and sleeve fronts. They kept the wind out and kept me warm even when soaked through. And I didn't sweat in it.
I have a very good waterproof only jacket.
Edit, I'd just want to wear a short sleeved thermal under it in this weather.
Aldi had a superb softshell jacket a while back, really warm (maybe too warm) but very breathable and almost completely waterproof. Had another one from them with a mesh back and the underside of the sleeves. keep an eye out for the Thursday specials.
+1 for Aldi/Lidl but also get down to a Decathlon and check their stock and the sale rail.
Not had a dud purchase from Decathlon yet.
