And fixed...I knew there would be a mistake somewhere.

Aw well , I enjoyed the thought while it lasted

It's 5 years old but this reviews the entropa and gives a good impression. Its the kind of thing I'm looking for it seems

Any idea for price for the MTB jersey yet?

I emailed John so hopefully he will let me know as soon as....
In the meantime can you put your preference for the jersey colour in the spreadsheet.

Hi
What's the differences between the defender and the pelta?

I'm looking for something that'll keep me warm and dry over the winter but not something that I'll be burning up in after slogging up a decent hill
Do either of those buckos fit that bill?

Cheers

the entropa is a wind proof and rain resistant (verge say rain proof but it gets in eventually) cape its designed to be worn over short or long sleeved jerseys or even a thermal jacket on a very bad day it can fold down small enough to go into a back pocket its a lovely piece of kit
the pelta is a standard thermal jacket with 3 pockets on the back and wind resistant material on the arms chest and shoulder and a lighter material on the back to prevent over heating

and.....

Ok I got these details this morning about The Defender (Gabba) Jersey/jacket

4way stretch fabric

Wind and Waterproof

Tight Aero Fit

High Collar with soft inner lining

Full separating zipper

Reflective detail for safety

Long back fabric (extra material below pockets ) to help keep you dry.
(I presume this is a tail but will confirm when samples are in hand.)

and this - http://crossbikereview.com/clothes/reviews/verge-entropa-jacket

Cheers BCMF - Sorry for being so lazy, all the info was in the thread already

I already have a cape so its a toss up between the defender and pelta

I'm tempted by the defender but I'm afraid that I'll find it too warm after I heat up

Am I being stoopid and forgetting how cold it gets in the winter here?

(BTW this is my 100th post wooohoooo)

It's take me 6 yrs to get to 10 comments - at that rate it'll be 600 yrs before I get another chance to wooohoooo

Are jerseys not part of the order? They're not on the spreadsheet. I'll add in a column for it but if they're not part of then delete away.

bcmf · 25-09-2014 4:18pm

Yeah add it in but we will need a lot more interest to justify the order

fillup · 25-09-2014 4:23pm

Sorry lads I’m still confused….

According to the review ( http://crossbikereview.com/clothes/r...entropa-jacket) the Entropa is a shell jacket but according to marcofan it’s a cape “the entropa is a wind proof and rain resistant (verge say rain proof but it gets in eventually) cape”

I’d define a cape as a light water proof jacket that can be rolled up into the back pocket of a jersey and a shell jacket as a jacket that’s worn on a cold and wet day (if you get my drift)

So which one is it?

bcmf · 25-09-2014 4:31pm

I believe it's a soft shell windproof / rainproof jacket that can be put on if the weather turns nasty and removed and rolled up into your Jersey pocket when the weather improves.
Will get marcofan to confirm.

marcofan · 25-09-2014 4:32pm

i would still define it as a cape as it does not have pockets

its much much better than a standard cape due to the windproofing so it will keep you snug

I've selected l/s defender but if orders aren't sufficent I'll change it to a l/s Jersey

Just to complicate things like

Boscoirl · 29-09-2014 10:05pm

Put myself down for the defender

I'm not going to have the money until the Friday after that. Just had an expensive stag in Dusseldorf last weekend. If that's a problem I'll remove my order.

I have the xl jersey and was gonna order the xxl defender as my thinking is that it would prob go on under a ls base layer and jersey.
But it would be an educated guesstimate tbh

Would it be the same fitting as the castelli gabba , if so one of my mates has one which I could try on

bcmf · 02-10-2014 7:54pm

i would say so.

sullzz · 02-10-2014 7:55pm

Excellent , are orders finished tomorrow ?

bcmf · 02-10-2014 7:57pm

rollingscone · 02-10-2014 9:21pm
