I have a Velez smock, good for three seasons, can be bit too warm in the summer depending on how you layer up. Very breathable, very waterproof. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20333#post-336573 Fri, 28 Aug 2020 19:49:03 +0000 amir 336573@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I believe paclite is one of the less breathable flavours of goretex.</p> <p>Walking wise I have a Columbia jacket with outdry material. It looks a little different but is both very waterproof and vreathable. But it's too hot for me to wear on a bike. I have a lightweight pertex walking jacket, that's really good for touring as it works for both walking and cycling. Packs up small but has no pockets </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20333#post-336565 Fri, 28 Aug 2020 18:01:53 +0000 minus six 336565@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>rab pertex shell for the hill, they always have massive map pockets</p> <p>not much interested in waterproofing my torso on the bike, just the overshoes </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20333#post-336564 Fri, 28 Aug 2020 17:47:04 +0000 gembo 336564@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@wingpig Goretex is not designed for big sweaters in terms of breath ability</p> <p>That is why I like Oxter Zips </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20333#post-336563 Fri, 28 Aug 2020 17:42:37 +0000 wingpig 336563@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Have I been expecting the wrong thing of 'breathable'? Maybe it deliberately generates such a high level of warm vapour inside it that some is forced out.<br /> Doesn't have side pockets but I'll go for another Altura when my seventeen-year-old blue one finall dies rather than waste thrice the money on a discounted 'breathable' Gore paclite. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20333#post-336555 Fri, 28 Aug 2020 16:03:23 +0000 gembo 336555@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>My bad weather walking jacket is an old endura cycling jacket. Shorter at front longer at back. Reasonable pockets and zips all through the oxters and beyond, would also take a reprooff spray. Quite sturdy. Black tho. This is not the lighter weight red endura kit I had at the tilt. It is not really waterproof anymore but light </p> <p>Think the newest endura version of the heavier jacket is also worth a squint </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20333#post-336554 Fri, 28 Aug 2020 15:46:33 +0000 Rosie 336554@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>The Velez looks a bit lighter than the Andina and may be more suitable.</p> <p>Cycling - shopping, outings, touring (commuting on hold)<br /> Walking - lowland, not mountaineering.</p> <p>Nothing very strenuous or extreme weather conditions. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20333#post-336553 Fri, 28 Aug 2020 15:43:11 +0000 steveo 336553@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em>Liking the Paramo Velez.</p> <p></em></p> <p>I've got the Ciclo and used it through winter with various underlayers including just a t-shirt as Murun says its pretty warm. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20333#post-336552 Fri, 28 Aug 2020 15:40:08 +0000 Murun Buchstansangur 336552@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I would try Paramo before buying. Too warm for some people, myself included. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20333#post-336551 Fri, 28 Aug 2020 15:33:49 +0000 I were right about that saddle 336551@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Hmmm. My Altura Night Vision Evo failed and awaits shredding by Madame to be knitted into crazy stuff.</p> <p>Liking the Paramo Velez. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20333#post-336550 Fri, 28 Aug 2020 15:32:36 +0000 fimm 336550@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>For clarity, hillwalking friends have Paramo and recommend it, I don't actually own any. The Paramo jackets I'm familiar with are more walking/running orientated and may not have enough reflective points for your wishes. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20333#post-336549 Fri, 28 Aug 2020 15:30:11 +0000 Rosie 336549@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Thanks all. I've had a look at the Paramo Ladies’ Andina Jacket and that looks very suitable and stylish as well. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20333#post-336547 Fri, 28 Aug 2020 15:17:21 +0000 I were right about that saddle 336547@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Paramo, that's it. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20333#post-336546 Fri, 28 Aug 2020 15:14:26 +0000 steveo 336546@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I got the paramo that @roibeard and @fimm recommended it's heavy but so breathable one (very) cold morning I could see the water vapour escaping from my shoulders. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20333#post-336545 Fri, 28 Aug 2020 15:10:59 +0000 I were right about that saddle 336545@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Folks gonna hit you up with Alpkit</p> <p><a href="https://alpkit.com/collections/womens-waterproof-jackets" rel="nofollow">https://alpkit.com/collections/womens-waterproof-jackets</a></p> <p>and that other one @Roibeard uses. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20333#post-336544 Fri, 28 Aug 2020 15:00:28 +0000 Rosie 336544@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Not a new topic, but I would like advice for a waterproof jacket.</p> <p>Mostly cycling so reflective but walking as well. Longish.<br /> Big side pockets. My Proviz has mean wee pockets.<br /> Quality over price. </p>
