I was going to take a trip to Condor at some point (my old mate Adrian works in there I think) and try on a few bits... I have bought blind in the past and had good results but you're right, I'd rather try the jacket on first before shelling out... I think I might be between sizes as well so that won't help matters... doesn't help that I don't live in London and the run up to Xmas is always busy... first world problems!!!
Albion stocked in Pinarello, Condor and Sigma in London, but we were unable to restock Zoa Rainshells to them this season because we had such limited amount - I think Condor had some left from previous season. Understand it's v frustrating, I'd want to see, and try-on a high price jacket, see the details, check layering etc, but it's aligned with a slow-growth approach, reducing risk/overstock etc.
If anyone is in SE London, you are always welcome to drop into studio in Deptford, Mon-Fri, to look at kit, just give me a heads up and I can check first on sizes/styles for you. Always nice to meet Forumers (and put a face to a cryptic digital pseudonym).
