My jacket arrived today

Sorry Rogan, but it just fits me

Arm length is fine, slim fit, perfect for me as im slim
just the length could have been a little longer, but not short enough to not use, at £35 its worth keeping it in my jersey pocket for the likes of tomorrow when im out cycling all morning

its a good jacket that's for sure, just need to test It lol

Tried it today and it's excellent although it wasn't raining I tried to splash some water on it and it just comes off. I guess the water repellent coating won't stay for long if you machine wash it?
 
Not sure of anyone has posted this here but if anyone is looking for a Garmin mount then Superstar are doing them.

Don't need one but figured I'd give one a try at this price.
 
Ok, winter has most definitely arrived. I even considered zipping up my arm vents on the softshell today!

Toes were cold (only wearing toe thingys), so it's looking like it's time for the overshoes, core was fine, hands were toasty warm (thanks Castelli :D), head was fine but I think I'll be progressing to the hat soon (wearing a headband at the moment).

not sure

Label says machine wash in a gentle but COLD cycle, drip dry
 
Set out this morning with tights, LS jersey, softshell gillet and early winter gloves.

After 3 miles I realised I hadn't put a t-shirt in my bag and so had to turn around go home. Took the opportunity to ditch the gillet and change gloves. Not as cold as advertised*.




*May be a euphemism for 'I'm fat'.
 
Set off on Tuesday and it was 4c. Winter bibs, arm warmers, merino base and normal jersey, winter gloves on, even wished I had the shoe covers!

Hour later it was getting north of 15c and the warmers and gloves had to come off as I was cooking!
 
The Castelli Sorpasso's have been excellent so far for that, the knees are fleece lined. Once it gets to zero though I'll have to double layer.
 
I've been getting PT quite a bit recently (illness, lack of sleep and interviewing) and it's affected my mojo; this morning I was actually contemplating just getting the train. It's a beautiful cool bright Autumn morning and I was thinking that sitting in a tin box would be a good idea.

I need counselling.
