Endura Stealth II Jacket. Discuss.

[Polite]

An unexpected tax refund means I am going to treat myself to a new jacket, primarily for winter but hopefully for all year round.

Incidentally, since getting back into cycling I have become more and more tempted by the sweet shop of accessories out there whether it's clothing or panniers or gloves. Is it just me or is this typical male cycling obsession?

Appreciate all comments.

Thanks.

If you wear a Stealth jacket in anything but the most cold conditions you will bake.

Cheers. When do you wear yours - just freezing cold weather?

Yes, either very low temperature or when it is wet and cold biting wind. Even then only with a thin top underneath, and not lots of layers.

I would not wear it unless in low single figures or in minuses.

I rode in -17 a couple of years ago and had a base layer, long sleeve top and stealth jacket and was toasty. Haha.

Typical cyclists obsession I would say @vickster, wouldn't you?

Yep male has nothing to do with it (thanks to OP for editing the typo to clarify)

Thanks. £150 seems expensive for just winter. I thought the breathability might make it an allrounder, or at least 3 seasons.

There are zips which can be opened for venting, but the fabric is still very warm
