Morning,

Looking for recommendations for a lightweight/windproof jacket to be used for running and road cycling. I run more than I cycle, about 70/30 split, so rather than buy a bike specific jacket as well, I am looking for a wonder garment to do both in. Budget aboot £60ish.

Not fussed about back pockets for cycling, as will have a jersey underneath with 'em on,

Montane Velo - or there's a running equivalent that has less of a dropped "tail".

montane featherlite marathon, brill to run in fine on the bike, not quite as fitted fro the bike as the velo, but has a draw cord waist that i find much better for running. the velo has an elasticated waist and was awful to run in. I've been trying to replace a velo for the bike, but i think i will just use the marathon for both, the tail drops a little not as much as the velo but will do for windy damp days.

Do the montanes have pockets, front/inner, or are just outer shells. Thinking about mp3 player/keys when running.
