SPEG brand?

[SonofSid]

Came across this jacket. Wondered if it was any good as a brand. Was worried it says 'polyester' and not breathable....
Cheers

I was looking at these too the other week,like the idea of zip off sleeves as my commute times are early morning/late night so the weather is often vastly different from setting out to going home.
Friend of mine has a normal Speg jacket and he seems happy with it,although every time I see it I think of Lister from Red Dwarf calling people Smeg
Torn between getting one or something like the Montane featherlight Velo as a packable emergency jacket.

Second line of description says "Breathable yet offers effective wind protection"

I've just bought some Speg shorts and have to say I'm very happy and impressed. Time, and mileage will tell how good they really are of course.

I have a couple of their things - long sleeve jersey, shirt and overshoes. They're very good, good and rubbish respectively.

Mind if I'd paid full price for the shirt (£40) I wouldn't have been that impressed, but for £15 it's pretty good.

I bought some of their shorts which have little padding and are annoyingly see through but fine for going under tights.

I have been using a Speg l/s jersey for the past 9 months which is brilliant, comfortable and durable.

In terms of value for money I think they are very good, one of the cheapest I have found but still pretty good quality.
