If you're lucky your local Aldi might still have some softshells in. But you will be lucky, was a few weeks ago they got them in. Their winter jerseys are decent too.

That decathlon jacket looks well worth the money! I got one of these from Madison recently.

Think mine was £32 from Tredz?! Not used it on the bike yet, just for dog walking, but it is warm and feels very tough. It kept me dry in a heavy shower too.
