Right, I've narrowed down my choice to the above jerseys as I can get both for around £60. Anyone own these that can pass on their opinion as a winter jersey choice?
PS. No I really can't afford a Gore 🙂
I have an MT500 and think it's pretty good. bit baggier than my Gore tops
I love my Altura Transformer - it is a snug fit though. I like the way you can remove the arms when the sun comes out. The wind proof front helps keep you warm.

Doesn't seem much between them, except sleeves come off Transformer. I'm pretty slim though (38 chest), so MT500 fit might be bit roomy. Need to find somewhere to try them both on I think!
Ok, so went to the LBS at lunch and tried on the above....wasn't too struck on way arms attached on transformer jacket as looks like it could get flappy on the downhills as not zipped all the way round like Gore tops. Also seemed quite flimsy, although I don't doubt it does its job ok.
Didn't have the MT500 in my size, but looked nice.
However, did see an Altura Etape Windproof jersey in black and red for £36 which actually looked and felt really nice.....anyone got one that can give me some feedback on its performance when riding please?
