Kati will eventually come round and wax lyrical about this jacket, but she's at work and I have some time to kill before I go...
We went to Budapest last week, with the addtional bonus of trying out the Urban Legend cycle wear and see if it does exactly as it implied.
I'm quite aware that there are some jacket that still end up being too big for a lots of you (Swrve Milwaukee especially), there's one specific item that would rival the Milwaukee is the Urban Legends softshell Winterbreaker, catchy name.
I will get punished eventually for posting how it look on her, she's 5'4, and have quite a slim body, the jacket is a small and it's a decent fit, especially with enough room for bulkier layers;
The rear "bumflap" (as she put it) is quite big, enough to cover her bum entirely, the hood is also a little on the large side but was idea with her big curly hair, the jacket not only zip all the way up to the collar but also have an extended collar flap, it doesn't have a back pocket, but it's more of a jacket best suited for daily riding and commuting than weekend sportif and long distance ride.
She get very cold easily, even in the summer, she'd rather not be in the shade as "it's a bit chilly" resulting in I getting sunburnt on my bald patch, so getting a text from her saying she love the jacket was something I was not expecting, defintely a good alternative to the Swrve if the sizing turn out to be far too big for most of you.
Price is £126 in Hungary if you're going to Budapest.
