I have a softshell, waterproof Endura Stealth II, which is absolutely amazing in cold and wet weather - fairly light, really thin (no lining at all), very warm with just a baselayer (I've used it in -10C) and completely waterproof. Unfortunately, it's no longer made by Endura. What is the alternative now? Or should I just get another one while they're still for sale occasionally before they disappear altogether?
I found my Stealth too warm when riding hard and I cooled pretty quickly when stopped. I tend to now use more layers and an Endura Windchill if dryish or a MT500 waterproof if proper wet. Works better for me.
Is the Windchill sweaty?
I've recently bought one of [url= https://www.planetx.co.uk/i/q/CLPX365MGMCNJ/planet-x-365-magma-convertible-jacket ]these[/url] from Planet-X and am very impressed indeed. Warm without being too warm and a versatile with the removable arms. Cheap too, i really like it. Make sure you got for a bigger size than normal, it's a snug fit.
In cold and wet weather the rapha hardshell jacket works really really well. It's the best waterproof I've ever used and the only jacket I've used that keep torrential rain out over a prolonged period.
Not cheap though
Thanks all. I'll have a look at Rapha, with Christmas coming up... Why did Endura stop making the Stealth, I wonder. It was just perfect for me.
Like the look of the jacket from Planet X Lunge. If I'm
a Lg in an Endura jacket (Xl in Altura) would you recommend an Xl ?
How about this one?

Is the Windchill sweaty
Yes, very
Its not too bad on a roadie, but it's too warm for anything approaching a decent off road ride
