Heading to the Pyrenees in May to do the Col Du Tourmalet. A friend a mine was over last year and the weather turned nasty on the decent. So the buyer in me is wondering to I need a new packable rain jacket?
I have a Gore Oxygen (not really packable), Gabba (too warm for climbing) and the Rapha Pack Jacket (not waterproof, commuter fit) already so what's missing?
I'm thinking the Race Cape fits the bill but don't fancy paying full whack for it. I saw the Castelli Idro on sale in Evans for half price. Anyone any thought on that? Or maybe I could get away with arm warmers and a gilet?
Dammit, this is the wrong time of the year to be buying Rapha.
