What is a good cycling waterproof jacket?

Anything made by Mountain Equipment. I'm assuming that you want to remain dry after all.

Any cycling specific ones that people are using?

Gill Event3, but I think they stopped making them... Endura do an Event 3 jacket, though.

I just picked up one of these on sale at CRC...

http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=15340

...and it stood up 100% to the downpours during last night's ride 😀

It's a generous cut which should allow for a few extra layers come winter. However, the price was £49 when I purchased on Sunday - now it's up to £69 😕

Thanks for the link.

I would still pay £70 if the jacket was really good, I don't want to spend much more really, not for using on the bike anyway.

Let's hope we don't have many more downpours like Tuesday's this Summer 😀
