Karrimor Vale Pac-Lite Jacket

I have owned this jacket since December 2004 and it has been worth every penny. It packs up into a small bag (about the size of a large coffee mug) that has two velcro loops that can be used to hold it onto the outside of a bag or belt.

In my experience the jacket is 100% waterproof and windproof (including the zip) it is also very breathable. The body and sleeves are the perfect length for bike riding covering the bum area and wrists respectively. The sleeves have velcro fastners to keep the wind and rain out and the neck is fleece lined which makes it feel very snug. It feels flimsy but mine has survived a few crashes intact and is still going strong. It is easy to clean, just hanging it on the back door and wipe it down with a sponge and clean water.

An excellent piece of kit that is ever present in my camelbak as an insurance policy against rain and wind. If any thing happened to it I would replace it immediately.
