Recently bought myself one of these - Race Face Team Hoodlum HoodieNot tested the 'windproof' capabilities out yet but it fits & feels nice and is very well made. It's got pockets, zips, drawstrings, etc, in all the right places, and a nice comfy hood to keep my hairless head warm.  |

There's some nice kit out there at the mo and I think I've looked at that on wiggle before.
The only thing with me is I'm funny about buying clothing online, I like to get into a shop and try things on. I've recently bought a lot of Endura kit from my LBS so far Im pretty impressed with it.
The ultimate Outdoors MTB shop in Betws Y coed have got a good range of Fox gear in now but I just find it far too pricey.
Are you going to use that for riding or a drinking top? ;D

Both! The outer material is a bit like a wetsuit, perfect for any beer spillage  I tend to buy my MTB gear online but always manage to order the wrong size first time around, the sizes advertised never seem to be what they actually are. |

Looks like a nice bit of kit there, good for off the bike to, im the same as martin and tend to get my kit form the local shop so i can try it on first.
Most of my kit is endura bought from Revolution bikes in Bangor, the lads have told me that if i have any probs with it that i could take it back and swap it no probs.
Recently bought a pair of gloves and the stitching started to go on the first ride. I took them back to the shop and they swapped them no questions asked.
The only bit of clothing ive bought on line was a pair of dhb bib tights from wiggle and the stitching started to go on them, i sent them bak to wiggle and they sent me a new pair, it was just a bit more of a pain in ass than taking them back to a shop.
Some of that dhb seems real good for the money

I've got a very similar Race Face jacket, worked a treat out on the marin last Sunday in gale force winds and the driving rain. The only problem i find the waist length cut a little short. |

I thought about that as well, especially when i'm trying to cover up my beer gut  Because of the length, do you find it rides up your back as well? I've not worn it for MTBing yet, just for social occasions |

I've not worn it for MTBing yet, just for social occasions It does tend to ride up a little but not a major problem. I suppose it depends what you have on under the jacket. The hood was great when I was caught out in hail this winter. |
