Also I am leaning towards Gore as even though it is probably not as good as the eVent it does have a good returns policy that I can take advantage of in the UK and is also quite widely sold here too. The annoying thing is that I WANT eVent, but they don't offer any kind of returns policy in the UK which puts me of dropping £200 on a jacket I don't know will suit me.
I am going to go out on some trial rides when my arm warmers come (hopefully today!) so I can see what layers I need for colder temps.
Thanks again for all your help,
And if anyone knows of a goretex paclite jacket with vents then please post the name (as long as it isn't the HUGELY expensive mavic stuff!)!
Thanks
Daven
The paclite is a 2.5 layer system whereas the eVent is a full 3-layer system, the paclite is for packing down smaller but isn't as durable as the 3-layer system with a layer of ripstop nylon on the outer-facing layer.
