Must fit in Jersey pocket, emergency waterproof so not bothered about maximum breathability, my castelli one has started leaking at the shoulders

Any ideas?

I really like my DHB cosmo. Great fit, rolls up small and not boil in the bag.

Edit: discontinued and currently oos

You can usually get a montane featherlite velo in a sale for <£50.

Packs to the size of an apple. Keeps the wind out and a heavy shower, beads water but will start wetting after longer spells of heavy rain though.

eg http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/291116730794

Shop around for a Keela Saxon - absolutely brilliant.

Endura xtract is good, doesn't pack that small, but fits in a Jersey pocket. Is definitely waterproof though and has a nice fit, not too tight, not too baggy.

Which Castillo jacket have you got op?
I've been looking at the squadra long, but if this is the one you have then I may look elsewhere.

The new PX one is bloody good - as well made as my specialist motorcycle one designed to go over leathers.

Montane Velo H2O has been working for me in this way for a few years now. Can be found for c£50 online.

Pocket rocket is pretty much on size, but is not long, so if you're a racing snake (? RaCiNgSnAkE), then look elsewhere.

I have a new dhb Cosmo in black for sale. Size XL if its your size.

Brand new in packaging, bought as a present but slightly too short for me

Howdo Rocketdog,

I thought Squadra's are just nylon and a DWR, no PU/membrane and no taped seams. If that's the case then it will leak at the shoulders in heavy rain.

If you want send me a message (email in profile) and I'll get it sorted so it's like new.

Jamie
