I 've been wearing the Bomber jacket for nearly two weeks now, not every day, and I have to say I'm dissappointed.
the jersey ribbing, being made out of polyester is bobbling and looks really worn, the collar shows qite a bit of wear as well. The zips are too small to use with gloves on, and often get stuck in the seam. the back is not really cut long enough and rides up.
I dont know what their criteria for water resistance is, but i've worn in a light shower, and while the first few drops bead up, after a minute or two the fabric has definitely soaked up water. It looks ok off the bike, but it's certainly not a technical or as high quality as I was expecting. For £80 I can't really complain, (actually that's what I'm doing) but if I'd bought this at full priced I'd be peeved.
My Endura Fusion is a much better jacket, it's just a little too bikey to wear on an evening out. I'd like a middle way.
