Yea i know its no longer available as its 2012/13 model, look at the equivalent that's available now....
To be exact £157.50.
I wasn't sure if it had a different name now or something - I only had a quick look at related items below the main bit
£150 is way above my budget. I would much rather spend that kind of money on other things. Thanks for the suggestion though.
I've got some PI padded undershorts and I really like them. I don't remember them being expensive either.

Are there any decent softshells for those of us who don't want to spend £100-200 on a jacket?
My Decathlon one is actually pretty awesome given how much I paid for it but I'd like something that is less baggy, more wind-proof and more water-resistant.
Evans had a v good sale on recently, might be worth checking with them, they had a lot of very nice sub £100 soft shells
Shredded my merino base layer when I was in England in Nov and not replaced it as it's been summer!
Very pleased with my Pro Team base layer though, very versatile.
Some Gore Oxygen SO jackets available at Winstanley's in a few sizes and colours.
£112 instead of £160

I'd say it's too warm for above 6C though. At least for the intensity I ride at.

Is that hilly or flat?

SportsShoes.com have a couple of Gore Windstopper jackets for £99 - here and here.
Would agree Windstopper can get a bit warm though mine handles light showers very well. Being able to convert it into a gillet gets more wear out of it.

Let's not be showing off now chaps.
Whilst 20mph may well be cruising for a lot of us, it hasn't always been. At the moment I have no top end and I'm struggling to hit 25mph out if the saddle. I can't remember the last time I topped 40kph on the flat without a lead out.

Well said!
Coming from the man whose biggest climbs are 26ft
26ft? wut?
all I'm saying is that hey you might be improving but don't get ahead of yourself and think that 26mph is something to talk about
