Jacket Recommendations

[Mitch]

I'm going to be ordering a new 2015 PCX 125 today and I need to buy everything from gloves to locks.

I've been looking online for jackets but wanted some recommendations or to know if people have experience of the below.

Not looking to spend much more about £150 and want something that it waterproof, wind proof and has a lining but isn't too hot for the summer (venting etc).

Any experience on the above brands or exact jackets? Or any other recommendations similar.

Thanks

Also take a look at http://www.sportsbikeshop.co.uk/ - thye have exellent customer service, customers reviews on most things, free delivery on items above £25 and no quibble return (usually free on items above the £25-30 cost).
Most if not all non-leather jackets are not really waterproof, but not really an issue as it's good to carry a set of lightweight waterproofs which are fully waterproof - they keep the top and bottom half dry and helps prevent water seeping in to the seat area, which will get through most normal biker trousers.

Thanks. Will take a look. Was looking on get heated as I had a 15% off code from getting a quote from bike insurer.

Would a textile jacket claiming waterproof abilities keep water out to some extent and only need the overalls for serious showers?

Never one to spend more than necessary, I bought one of these in 2009 and after getting on for 50,000 miles have just replaced it with another one of the same, very good vfm imo

Hi-viz might not be your thing, fear not, the CJ-1019 jacket is available in a selection of colours, black, grey, red or blue on Amazon, eBay and Biker Gear's own site

And if they have your size, here's a real bargain: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Weise-X-Blade ... 1776576785

The jacket is waterproof even in the heaviest downpours, yet to try the trousers in heavy rain.
Any textile jacket advertised as "waterproof" should be exactly that but spending loads of cash is no guarantee of staying dry.
