transfer jacket' lol
i.e you just transfered us a big wedge of your hard earned cash, here's a fucking feather filled bin bag to wrap yourself in whilst you're having an angsty cry wank on the 6.30 ryanair flight to Beauvais you booked to ponce about the french paysage pretending to be a pro cyclist, you gullible mug
You've changed
JumboFrames-
Ah vintage gruber. You have a good memory and you're probably right, but in my defence I bought it before moving to Sweden where an insulated-cycle-fit jacket was pretty appropriate, wear it to transfer myself to and from locations that serve alcohol without pretending to be a pro cyclist, and tend to save my angsty cry wanking for when I'm clothed in nothing but almond butter.
And obviously because I'm Scottish I got it in the sale for a comparatively respectable amount of money compared to the shite version folks are spunking £160 at today and would have been sent back if I'd received it then, too.

Received transfer jacket. Shit fit aside, which I kind of expected, I'm amazed at how poor the quality is compared to the original. 'Lightweight' seems to be a euphemism for or 'flimsy as fuck' and it just looks/feels cheap by comparison-considering the Brevet insulated jacket is designed to be packable/lightweight enough for riding it's still something I'd feel is more durable for wearing day to day than the transfer and the level of insulation seems about the same. Ah well boo hoo, will try an Arceteryx instead.
Outside of the classics range which seems to have retained the previous level of quality I really dunno if I'd buy anything else now (maybe aside for the limited release caps that pop up for ToC/ToJ that i'm a magpie for) as it doesn't seem that the value versus $$$ ratio has been preserved elsewhere. Is it just me that thinks this?
