    It has a waterproof membrane in it but like most jackets I don't think it would keep rain out for long,if you have a really light waterproof jacket you could use it with that as its more thermal than waterproof.For the price of the bundle its good value.

    Quality is good and don't think you would get anything as good for that money here,the sizing chart they have is bang on the button.

    Never saw that on the site and just had a look at the pads,not as thick as some pads ive had but would say you could do 100k and be fine I wouldn't do much more than that so still happy:)

    are they off a Chinese site we shall not mention?
    If so they look sh!t, far too bulky looking!

    these are amazing, even when they get wet they keep your hands warm.

    Bought a pair last winter from CRC, a little bit more expensive than that IIRC. In any case they started to come apart at finger joins after about 6 or 7 uses.
    CRC gave a refund no quibbles. In short, lovely warm glove but not very durable.

    Good few lads in the club have them, I use the thinner glove, Castelli Nano XT. Can be picked up for 30e every so often.

    You were never out of bed at 6am, only time was when you were coming home from the night before :)

    They are for proper winter. Not your Autumn wuss stuff, when you don't know what to wear.

    Kind of the same as the Lidl/Aldi ones. They are not as thick as they look and changing gears is quite feelative.

    I just made that word up. I think.

    "Feelative"

    I'll have that in the Oxford dictionary by 2018.

    You have to laugh at these shops and their half RRP sales... reality is you could get this at this price or close any day since it was released if you buy online (Germany better these days since the euro went to hell). Still though..as good a price as any at the moment.
