Wind jackets (and layered clothing in general)
Do you love yours? Would you recommend it? Thanks!
Criteria:
- Wind proof and water resistant
- Lightweight
- Comfort fit as opposed to race fit
- Works well with multiple layers in Tokyo winter (prefer thin jacket instead of soft shell)
- Works well with a single layer in Tokyo early spring/late fall (cycling vest in summer)
- Other important considerations?
Jackets I have been looking at:
1. http://www.wiggle.co.uk/dhb-hunston-clear-race-jacket/
Nearly everything sounds great from the reviews. But can I trust these? Price is of course a big plus.
2.http://www.wiggle.co.uk/gore-bike-wear-balance-iii-windstopper-jacket-aw10/
Reluctant to spend this amount of money, although I know there are far more expensive jackets around. Worth it?
3. http://www.wiggle.co.uk/giordana-body-clone-forma-red-protection-jacket/
If only this statement was true: "The material of the pouch allows a wet jacket to air dry, even when packed up."
Cheers!
