Arc'tyrex Gamma
This is an excellent jacket, fit and feel is great. Although there is the MX hoody or the windstopper version…
I couldn't quite stretch to that so I bought a Montane Sabretooth (139 from surf dome). It too is excellent, just not quite as good as the arcteryx. Hood design is very good though - it follows your head so vision is unaffected.
Weather resistance - it breathes really well but does let wind through. It will hold off a light shower or road spray for about 30 mins before starting to saturate and leak. In the heavy rain this morning it soaked through in 15 mins - but i was still warm.
Also check out the 66º North soft-shell in Blacks - that was another option and meant to be great.

The VENTA is nice, but pricey
All these are good casual soft shells with a nice fit for riding in.

Hi chaps - Ages ago I decided to buy an Endure Urban Softshell, just for tooling about on the bike and commuting rather than any serious riding. However, everywhere now seems to be sold out of S.
So, does anyone know of any stores which might stock it OR are there any equivalents from other brands I should consider*? Arc'tyrex Gamma? Shell out of a Mission Workshop Orion?
*must be black, weather resistant, hooded.
