Right, I'm struggling with this, everything is either sold out or too expensive. At present I use a Crivit (Aldi's finest) breathable waterproof that cost about £10, it is neither very breathable nor very waterproof but it was affordable. I don't want to spend much over £40 but I don't want to waste money buying something no better than what I've got. I'm prepared to compromise on the packability and I know at this sort of price breathability is not going to be brilliant but it'd be nice to find something that kept me dry for longer than 10 minutes. Any suggestions that don't involve wearing something with less wicking than a bin bag?
Cheers, Dallas
PS Prior to investing in the mighty Crivit I used to wear my Marmot walking soft shell (which inflated to epic proportions whilst riding), are there any similar affordable waterproof garments tailored for cyclists?
