What is the best cycling jacket for commuting (at reasonable speed in
UK)
IMHO the only way to stay dry on top, and not boil-in-the-bag is with a
Big Yellow Cape. Sadly, you will take off in anything other than a light
breeze 🙁
I've gradually learned that survival in wet weather is about controlling
the degree of wetness; and not allowing yourself to get cold. This means
keeping your feet warm, and as dry as possible for as long as possible.
Let your legs get wet - there's nothing you can do about it really - if
you wear longs, the trapped moisture and hard work will keep your legs warm.
On top - wear a cheap windproof/showerproof jacket. I use a 4.99ukp
Regatta thing in the summer, and an Altura Nevis in the winter. Then
your usual wickable layers underneath - more layers in colder weather.
