Winter Jacket

[Gringo]

Hi All,

 

I am looking for a cycling jacket (not lightweight jacket) for winter. Must be wind and water resistant. Any suggestions? I have searched the internet for common name brands but had no luck. Looking at spending 1.5k

For a number of years now I use Gore soft shell jackets. They work very well. I bought mine in the UK

I saw the gore soft shell jackets but I'm looking for a jacket quite soon and you never know with our customs...

 

But that is exactly what I am looking for..

I have a Gore windstopper. Bought in USA . Not sure if there are local stockists

Look at Endura jackets on CRC. I got one for the UK winter and it is incredible. Can't remember the model, but it was around £160. I got it on offer for £89 which should fit your budget. I have seen them on offer since then at CRC, especially now at the end of winter. Not sure if duties though

importing a gore is going to cost you a lot more than 1,5

 

(in case you haven't imported clothing before )

 

once you add import tax vat and shipping - 40% 14% + shipping

Hopefully you know someone coming back from the UK or the duties will be high.

Windproof and waterproof.

Why in the world would you want to ride in that?  hehehehhe

 

Castelli Perfetto (You can't get in SA- Importer is pretty useless when it comes to jackets)

 

MOST of my rides are done in the Assos Intermediate jacket these days.  Wind proof at the front.  Breath at the back.
