I have a Windstopper jacket and it keeps the wind out (Strange that) and is fairly shower resistant.
On the other hand I have just got a Nike storm fit jacket and its loooooovely!!!
Concurve is wonderful gear, but they dont, IMHO make things 'on the small side'. All manufacturers these days in my opinion make things a bit on the 'massive side'. I'm not a particularyly small bloke, esp. amongst runners, yet I really struggle with some brands definitions of 'small'. 'Small' Ronhill T-shirts hang off me. 'Small' Mizuno kit is also rather baggy. Concurve small gear fits me nicely.
Its the old race t-shirt analogy. Runners as a population are smaller than your average Joe, yet manufacturers insist on creating clothes that will fit the average memeber of the 'great un-movings' perception of what small is (i.e. the upwards trend in the physical dimensions of a size 10 in the last 10 years), and race organizers insit in only buying in T-
shirts in Large.
Rant over. Hope I didnt ruffle any feathers...
p.s. Sweatshop Reading have just got a shedload of new Concurve gear in, give em a ring.
p.p.s If your looking for a nice windproof layer, see if you can get a look at the concurve Windbreaker N2S (Next 2 Skin) shirt. I just brought one and its fab! Its basicly a full zip, high neck wicking baselayer, with a windproof outer coating. Very versatile and very warm, yet not sticky.
I'm 38" chest and had to get an XL!
With a range of opinions like this, needless to say your probably best going with Jons advice and try the darn stuff on first!
I have a 33" waist and am 6'2" tall!
the Jog Shop in Brighton also agree with me! So there!!! Anyhoo! Try the gear out in a shop, if you can get it cheaper Mail Order do that!
Boys, boys its only a jacket for goodness sake.
ITS A WAY OF LIFE! ITS A STATUS SYMBOL! ITS A CONCURVE JACKETTTTTTTTTTT...
