I wonder will there be a non-hood insulated version?

Does anyone know if or when thoes natty little pro team back packs are coming back?

Hooded version is very very good in very cold/wet weather but I found it uncomfortablely hot over 6 degrees.

Its definately not as warm as a race cape. The best thing to do is try it on & see.

There is plenty room in the sleeves for thick jerseys; thats not a problem.

Its very light, packable, 100% waterproof, very very breathable (Amazingly so). I gave most of the winter miles wearing it over a long sleeve jersey. Sizing wise its a race fit being very snug on the torso & with a little bit of room on the arms.
Overall it really is an excellent jacket & definatly the new standard in light rain jackets.

The insulated shakedry looks greart apart from the hood.... What are the chances of it being available with no / detachable hood I wonder...

... £25 for postage on a jersey !!!!! lunacy

I have both. Before I purchased the shadow I wondered how it compared to the Gabba. Well ... the gabba is a jacket & the shadow is a jersey. Shadow is lighter, more breathable & 100% waterproof even after several hours in torrential rain. Its not especially warm but has been comfortable on tempo efforts with a base layer to 7 degrees. Lower & wetter than that Ive worn the insulated gillet over it & its been absolutlt perfect.

FILA .....

That had me confused; its powershield pro but looking at some of the pictures on the special edition it looks the same material as the old hardshell. Powershield Pro looks very different... ? Strange

Seems to be the same material as the hardshell. Looks very similar to the hard shell with the zippered dropped tail of the city jacket but with underarm ventilation zips. Good idea. Special edition looks especially good. Pity it doesn't have a discreet reflective stripe or 2 across the back & front.

This guy .....

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha 😂

That seam is very prominent when new but after a few wears & a couple of drownings it softens & disappears .... at least mine did anyway. Beautiful light windproof glove, but not waterproof by any stretch of the imagination.

That's perfect 👌 Thanks very much.

Is there much of a difference between the first version of the Pro Team Soft Shell Jacket & the current version? Is it an improvement & if so how? More waterproof / more breathable ?
I have the first version & its great, I wonder why they needed to change it, are the improvements that radical :)

Here's my 20% code if anyone wants it?
SU1-P8K7-9T5M-7D55

Nano flex arm warmers...... & you can pocket these too if it gets tropical :)

Spot-on. I bought a new PTRC but just couldn't bring myself to cut the sleeves... however I got one with the sleeves cut at the tape (Elbow) on EBay. The cut sleeve one is perfect on warm but wet days / races. Keeps body properly dry & breezy. Folds up & goes in the back pocket where a gabba won't when the sun comes out again.

Got called "Lance" when being handed a coffee at a winter spin stop over the christmas :) ... "Here you go Lance" :) Surprised it didn't come with a little something in a bag on the side :)

The opinions of the Decathlon Peloton are a bit irrelevant really.... They generally fall into two groups:
1) Never had quality gear & don't know what they are missing/talking about (I.e. Cows talking about motorbikes).
2) Don't need it (On their once weekly club spin / 5 mile commute).

As for all this malarky about rapha/expensive gear guys getting passed by hero in lidl's finest, The front bunch of any decent race isn't populated by the gregarieos of the Decathlon Peloton.
Long hours of training is hard enough (Especially in winter) without making it some kind of survival test. 5 hours a week commuting around Leeds (For example) is hardly the true test of whether Rapha/Assos is value for money or not...... Ive been to dhb / shitkit & its not a pretty spot....

No bueno ....... wont touch it unless its made within 20 miles of the house..... Chinese & Northerners y'know....
