For winter it's got to be a Buffalo top. Bought mine in '92 and it's still going strong. Different approach to the layer system, and it works. Have a look at their site.

Aye, only trouble is Boris delivers it personally, and has to make sure it fits............especially the inside leg......... :shock:
ANYWAY...............my vote goes to Buffalo too for cold weather gear- my big face shirt is a mere whippersnapper at only 12 years old.

Firstly, if you buy cheap.....IT WILL NOT WORK!!!
I have tried it in the past and they all last about 2-3 rides. I kid you not! All jacket will lose the waterproofness after a while so don't be fooled thinking that spending £100's will get you a jacket that lasts.
£99 is about the min to spend to get anywhere near a decent jacket. I have just invested in an 'Endura Event' on the basis that a few mates have had them for about 10 months and they still repel water and 'breathe' I was out last night in the snow with the jacket and base layer on and i was toastie warm and not too sweaty. I would recommend one to anybody. You should be able to shop round and get it for about £140ish.
By the way it only comes in Henry Fords favourite colour!!!
But then i only wear it off road! If you are only going to waer it on the road then spend about £30 next time Lidl or aldi do bike clothing in their speacials!! You don't need the breathablity for road riding.
