Perfect, thanks for that @Chopsicle I'm looking for a jacket to ride in, so I think the All Road might be the better fit for me... shame I'm not closer, I'd drop in otherwise. Is the Rainshell much bigger than the All Road, could I size down for a more fitted feel?

Thanks good to know I don't need another lightweight bag.
Regarding the rain jackets, is the pertex material in the all road better than the previous rain jacket material, was it the rain jacket V2? -
Thank you.interesting to see the new gray/green
Yes, i was thinking of the light ones. I still have the burner from the first lfgss-batch :-)

@nogk yes, restock coming, but not 'til end-of-month/Nov though I'm afraid. Got a really nice new lichen/moss grey green (both mens & womens), the blue/orange lining (mens + womens) and the orange only in mens fit.
Musettes, there are still the Zoa Burner Musettes, but did you want an Ultralight/Lightweight version? Someone else was asking on here
The black Ultralight backpacks are a slightly different design to the LFGSS olive ones. The ones on site have a box pleat base, like a flatpack box, whereas the LFGSS design was a 3D wedge form. Not much difference in volume, black one folds neater, green prob looks better when full.
@Johnnyw75 If you want a jacket to ride in, the All Road would be best bet; light, pocket-stowable, bit of stretch, cut for drop-bars. The membrane is Pertex Shield, a monolithic PU hydrophillic layer; this works best if you have a high differential between inside/outside (ie generating heat on the bike, cooler exterior, lots of airflow
If you want an all-round jacket, to ride different types of bike, and use for hiking, off-bike, camp etc, then the Zoa Rainshell is amazing. Fitted hood, great cover, pockets, cut to layer over insulation if needed. The membrane is Pertex Shield Air a nanospun hydrophobic layer. Highly waterproof and breathable, it's the top performing Pertex technology. Restock coming in Nov - but if you're in SE London, feel free to drop in and look at both jackets in SE8
