Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

Mission: Prepare for Winter.

The classic soft shell is, I believe, widely considered to be too warm unless the temperature has a - in front of it.

How about the Pro-Team jacket? Anyone got any experience of one?

softshell is a lovely piece of kit - but I found that last winter I only wore it 2-3 times. I think that when I commuted by bike it was a more useful item of clothing as I don't really get hot riding around town, but now that I walk to work everyday I find that its just too hot for anything except the coldest, coldest (sub -2) rides.

Have to say, that feeling of going out in such a warm jacket did keep me riding on the 2-3 days last year that it was that cold. We might even get a real winter this year and I'll wear it more.
