Cheers. I'll have a read around.
My wind jacket seems to be drifting towards a permanent loan, so I was looking for a girls alternative.
Obviously I'm also looking at the girls wind jacket. I think Signma have it for a similar price as the bomber in the Rapha sale so I was looking for a comparison.
I think the bomber is a bit warmer and more versitle than the wind jacket, but was wondering if anyone had any experience.

fairly sure @Scoot has the rain bomber and may also know if it's the same as the lightweight or not...
the Vulpine disc jacket is on sale at the moment, and I like it but it's really thin, maybe half the weight of rapha wind stuff (so not at all wind "proof"). I have yet to try it in the rain.

Lightweight bomber jacket is basically a city wind jacket. Best for spring/summer riding on cooler days to keep the breeze off and will hold off a shower fine for the length of a short commute but isn't fully waterproof.
Women's wind jacket is thinner so less warm but with the same wind-deflecting abilities.
The rain bomber is an entirely different jacket which is better for autumn/winter as it's a lot warmer (it's got a mesh lining inside which makes a lot of difference), it will keep you dry even if it's torrentially raining and keep 100% wind out but is still very breathable. So during winter I wear it as my everyday commuting jacket to keep out all the elements, not just rain.

the women's rain bomber seems popular on here but I'm not sure if that's the same as the lightweight bomber... (new name or different garment?)
