For the CycleChic ladies (or chic gents that wear ladies clothes).

My continuous search for stylish rainwear has borne fruit and I thought I'd share my discovery with you all.

Seasalt sell pretty waterproof jackets (lots of organic and ethical ware too) and currently have some in the sale - I've just ordered this one:

Neck cord's a bit slack.

It's a bit "Fifties" for my taste but it is quite stylish.

Is that for on the bike @Sara_H ? I'm looking for a replacement for my jacket but I hadn't thought of the Seasalt ones - must admit I've rather gone off their clothing recently. I bought a winter coat but it was no where near warm enough so I had to send it back. Maybe I should have another look.

Mrs S bought one of their raincoats at the start of the winter, and it is the dogs danglies according to her. Looks pretty cool too...

Yes was planning to use it on and off the bike.
I got a decent jacket from the sailing section in Decathlon that I've been wearing through the winter, but its padded and will be too hot come spring/summer.
I hear the seasalt jacket is light enough for spring/summer use. I've bought a size up too so that I can add layers come autumn.

My favourite brand is http://www.apresvelo.com/. The quality of their garments is amazing. They have bloke stuff too.

I'm using an unlined Regatta one at the minute but I can't see a similar one to replace it with. Though hopefully it'll soon be summer & I'll not have to worry about a replacement until the autumn.

I tend to buy all my coats in larger sizes to allow for multiple layers

I like the stuff on the site you linked @Turdus philomelos, cheers for that.
I like the jacket you got @Sara_H (monocolour would be better for a wee dumpling like me ) but I think, for cycling it would let the rain in through the sleeves.

 

[Crackle]

That's not bad. Slight, psychadelic shower curtain tones but in a stylish way.

Hmm, yes my decathlon jacket has open sleeves.
I did consider stitching some hidden cuffs inside the sleeves but I couldn't be bothered!

Mrs. 66 is a big Seasalt fan. She has a similar style of jacket, albeit in blue/black alternating horizontal stripes. It's very good.

I might get her on a bicycle one day. I actually think that she has the physical attributes to be a very useful track cyclist. Problem is, she's scared of traffic.

. Problem is, she's scared of traffic.

Traffic on a track?

 

[Spinney]

Their long sleeve tops look good (sadly all the ones I fancy are sold out in their current sale!)
Anyone bought these? Good quality?

Can't always train on the track, can you?
