Summer Evening Jacket ?

[zak3737]

HI all,
Just wondering what any of you recommend Jacket wise for carrying in a pocket with you on summer nights, when the temp drops, & which also gives some degree of water-proofing too ?

I've got a Sportful Fiandre No-Rain jacket, which is super comfy to wear, and 'shower- resistant' etc, but not that 'warm' per se. It is easy to carry in a pocket mind you.....

Lots of very expensive super looking stuff, Gore Shakedry, Castelli (+shakedry) etc etc, but I dont imagine they are that insulating, just merely very waterproof ?


Any suggestions ?

I've got pretty much the same - an Endura jacket that keeps the wind or rain off, but its not insulated so does not provide any warmth - this I have to get from working harder !

Being cold is the last thing I worry about when putting on a lightweight waterproof jacket. I am usually trying to get rid of the heat. If your current jacket is not warm enough think about adding a thermal gillet underneath rather than a thicker jacket.

Arm warmers and a lightweight gilet ... mix and match as gets cooler

I carry a thin nylon gilet for the last couple of miles home after the pub stop. Also arm warmers if I've gone out in short sleeves.

You need to drink more and just wear your 'beer jacket'

Well, granted, at 57, I dont cycle like I stole it

Good idea, fuller pockets perhaps but more options.

Gilet and arm warmers (eg the no rain variety) for me
