£2500 commuting / touring outfit

Alex: Does what it says. So well.

I bought this some time ago and left off reviewing for a bit. Today seems a good time. It was wet today. Not biblically wet but not far short. I had to stop a couple of times and my head got soaked just walking between bike and shop. I didnt mind. At all. Because the time I was on the move, I was so dry. I was so warm and comfortable that the rain was almost incidental. I know that you expect that, particularly with a jacket that aint cheap. But the feeling of comfort is so nice. The rest of the jacket lives up to the same high standards. Fits well, sufficient pockets, nice finish etc. But the main reason I got this was for days like today. Days I can now, if not look forward to, be pleased I bought this.
