The modifications that <a href="http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4977#post-54664">Scottish Mountain Gear</a> carried out has improved my jacket hugely. No more pools of rain leaking through the zip and soaking my middle. I also wash and reproof my jacket more than once every five years now.</p> <p>Might be somewhat precipitous riding home, but my lights tend to live on my bike all the time now, so I'm ready. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5528&page=2#post-80499 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 10:15:50 +0000 chdot 80499@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"</p> <p>Got absolutely soaked this morning.
