    Looking for the above.
    Have seen lots of bargains but the sizes are not suitable(xl)
    Any recommendations please?

    They aren't exactly waterproof but I find the softshell ones from aldi/lidls perfect for my 13km commute in the winter months. Unless absolutely soaked they dry off quick enough too.

    I bought one of the cheaper Muddyfox Jackets from sportsdirect.com for about €26 (+delivery) and it's been fine so far.
    Went for a fairly bright orange one just to make me more visible.
    I really wouldn't use it for any sort of distance work (or any strenous rides) as it's not as breathable as the much more expensive stuff.
