Last question between a Windstopper jacket with pit zips and a Pertex no pit zips which one would you go for?
My word ? No, because I dont use pertex myself, i just know its a decent material
I dont use waterproof legs, i use windproof on front, lycra on back, and let my legs get wet.
For jackets I use a nylon ultralight (Sugoi Viper) down to low 40's. Then I use a softshell (Ibex Climawool Neve Kacket) from mid 40's and below. If its pouring rain i wear a waterproof made from eVent (showerspass elite).
Marmot is a great company, anything made by them is usually very good quality. The precip legs will definatly keep you dry from the rain, but no idea how sweaty you'll get. I have a marmot precip jacket that is quit good, but my upper body doesnt spin the pedals.
As to windstopper with pit zips and pertex without? Tough call, id probably go for the pertex if no other choice was available. .
Personally, id go for a mec microft . Built well, awesome bang for your buck. And keeps you dry for 30 min commute.
