Hmmm. This is becoming more an expensive thread everyday
My Titanium medium size jacket weighs in at 405 grams, it's about 4 years old now, gets hosed down or trod in in the shower when dirty and it still looks and works like neworeocereus wrote: ↑Mon Jul 06, 2020 8:38 am What’s the weight of the “reign”? I’ve used one of their discontinued hiking models, which I liked until fell apart after about a year of regular use.
I have the previous version of that (it was advertised as being suitable for fell runners etc) and it's pretty good. Packs small and you can open the chest pockets to vent it if you're not using them for storing stuff. The only thing I'd say is that it may wear more quickly than the full fat version if you habitually ride with a backpack on. I wouldn't descrube the fabric as flimsy compared to other waterproof breathables but it is a lighter weight than the fabric used in the Outdry mountain jackets.ScotRoutes wrote: ↑Mon Jul 06, 2020 11:34 am But then there's also this...

Oh another good feature that I've just remembered is that the hood fits over a bike helmet if you get caught in a downpour. It's something I never imagined that I'd do but actually proved very handy last year while monsoonbikepacking in Moidart/Ardnamurchan.ScotRoutes wrote: ↑Mon Jul 06, 2020 7:14 pmCool.

I’ve just bought a couple of gilets and a jersey and They seem very good for the price.
After a challenging period for us at Aussie Grit Apparel it is with a heavy heart that we have taken the decision to close the business.
LOL - that's one opinion

Mine's the older one Reg and it's nowhere near that weight. The seller's included those hefty looking pegs in with their stated weight - they must be 100g.Well spotted. Almost had a try for the Gatewood, but then noted that it's probably the older heavier version: "Weight 430g ".
What’s the fit like on these... snug and size up or not? Thinking for layering over warm layers for winter night riding. They have XL and XXL in blue and reaching my full lockdown weightJohnClimber wrote: ↑Sun Jul 05, 2020 6:21 pm £83.70 for the blue Outdry jacket some of us swear by
