I'm looking for recommendations for a waterproof jacket for commuting please.
Criteria:
- bright and easy to see (a combination of bright colour & reflective patches).
- waterproof
- decent venting for when I'm slogging up the lo-o-ong hill home
- some sort of mesh lining or other "non-stick" finish so it doesn't stick to my skin if I'm just wearing a short-sleeve t-shirt underneath
- a pocket for keys etc and to stash my gloves & lights whilst I'm faffing with the bike lock at work
- women's fit to accommodate hips (men,s fit is usually too snug round the bum)
- I'm not sure how essential a hood would be
I have tried the local bike shops, but they don't have much stock and what they do have is either v expensive, v cheap crap (one salesman said "don't buy that, it's rubbish" or very lightweight. So now I'm searching online and getting utterly confused.
I have got down to a sort-of shortlist of Madison Stellar reflective and "standard" versions (the latter has more pockets), Madison Prima, Endura Luminite DL and Endura Luminite 4-in-1 (which seems to be a different jacket). So if anyone has any feedback about any of those, that would be appreciated.
Thank you!
