My unfeasibly expensive Trek jacket I got from Evans finally bit the dust, well that and the fact I was fed up with being a Trek / VW advert (I got it for £12 but it was listed on the site for £60!!) and I was looking for another small packable windproof to fill the gap.
My old jacket did the job, but was a basic, no frills jacket. I like the Endura one for several reasons. It folds into it’s own pocket and is really small, you can easily put it into your rear jersey pocket without any fear of it coming out. Seeing as I spend a bit of time commuting to work and back on my bike I wanted something that had some reflective bits too. It has a smatter of reflective detailing and hopefully that will make me a bit more visible though the winter months.
It’s quoted as being shower proof and although it did keep me dry during a post work shower on the way home, it was only about ten minutes and I can’t see it would keep the rain out much longer. But then that’s not really what you are buying a jacket like this for, if you want properly waterproof buy a waterproof!!
So my criteria were keep the wind off me and not boil me in the bag whilst doing it and I’d say that it fits that description perfectly. Top that off with a really good price tag and I reckon it’s great value for money
