Would like the Endura MT500 but don't like the price 🙄 I see Alpkit make one Argonaut how bike specific is it ? Not fussed about a hood , usually get Altura just wondered if I should be looking at anything else ? Looking for a bargain really 🙄
I usually just see what's in the sales and check it doesn't have horrible reviews.
Cyclestore are always worth a look... jackets here
Bought a Sugoi something or other off Sportpuruit for £90, easily the best jacket I've ever used.
Genuinely surprised how good it was.
Altura Mayhem 2 at Evans for £71.99 if you don't mind it in black.
Altura Mayhem 2 at Evans for £71.99 if you don't mind black.
Someone always recommends the Decathlon one for 60 quid. Looks decent.
Keela Saxon, usually available for about £60.
Sugoi NeoShell off SportPursuit - very good indeed.
There's a few MT500's on ebay. Depending on what size you are think the black small one is 95 pound. Take a look.
I've just bought one, the orange one from cyclestore for 125. Highly recommended it's a great jacket so far.
As above, look around in sales. I got a Polaris Granite XO Storm for £50 (RRP £145) in one of my LBS last year.
Does anyone know if the Endura Singletrack on Cyclestore for £49.99 is a Women's ?
Just ordered one from eBay for £12. I'll let you know what's it's like! Lol
As per mark90.
I've spent a lot more on bike jackets that are nowhere near as good.
The one on Cyclestore looks like the older mens jacket (I have one in black). Also take a look in Go Outdoors they often have good deals on well known brands (RAB, Montane etc). I picked up an OEX (never heard of them either) for under £90 and it's been great so far, not bike specific but hood fits over helmet and it has a slight dropped tail too (though less than MTB specific jackets).

+1 keela Saxon , ordered one following earlier thread, great pics of kit really happy with it £57 on Amazon
Alpkit email arrived today, Argonaut has £20 off.
I picked up a goretex berghaus mountain jacket for £35 off ebay on the weekend. Might be worth a look?
As mentioned above: Pace.
Tog24 have some good deals
On the clearance page
Berghaus and Tog24 ? Should have said it's for MTBing
The Decathlon one (Forclaz) around £60 is excellent. I've got a couple, one for work and one for the bike.
Your search is over.
I have the Alpkit Balance and its superb but over £100 the arganout is with a punt as its reduced https://www.alpkit.com/products/argonaut-mens?utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Espresso%206th%20March%202019&utm_content=Espresso%206th%20March%202019+Version+A+CID_90898796897bab825cb5c998c4cbdfb1&utm_source=Email%20marketing%20software&utm_term=Mens%20Argonaut
Ended up finding Altura 540 their top of the tree for £48 odd! Supposed to retail at £170?
I wouldn't spend 170 quid on anything made by Altura, everything I've had from them has been garbage. Hopefully your jacket is the exception.
I can highly recommend the Endura MT500, best jacket I've had.
Well, turns out my cheap eBay one is actually pretty good!
I doubt it has any breathability to speak of but for my purposes it's fine.

As is mine. Gore-Tex Pro Shell, long-ish body with dropped tail, long arms, pit zips, storm flaps and a removable hood. Perfect for biking and will probably stand up to a good few 'offs'
This one from tog24 is slightly heavier than the wife's mt500 and has more reflective tape and a rear pocket, so pretty bike orientated.

I've got the decathlon inner linked to above. Not as a bike jacket busy just as a general waterproof jacket. Had it about a year and it still beads nicely and it's never had a wash. I have long arms and the arm fit is really good.
Please remember, these are only £12 delivered and it will be a bit boil in the bag.... But it will do me as I am on a budget.👍
Tonnes of colours too....

As is mine. Gore-Tex Pro Shell, long-ish body with dropped tail, long arms, pit zips, storm flaps and a removable hood.
Just to be clear to anyone thinking of my ultra cheap option, Clees' jacket is in a different league to the one I've got from his description!
Pays your money and takes your choice...😉
