Mavic Neptune - anyone got one?

[PaulSecteur]

As from my previous thread I think I have found my ideal jacket (except the price, over budget by £10)
So, has anyone got a Mavic neptune that they would care to share their veiws on?

Not got one, looks nice. If you use Quidco, you can get 3% cashback from Evans, which will bring it a little closer to budget

How's the Neptune? Did you end up buying it ?

I didnt in the end. Evans wanted me to go to a store before they would order it and that was a fuss because I would have to go into birmingham to order it, then again to pick it up. Either on the train or parking would have been at least £10 for the 2 trips.
Also, I tried some similar garments (Gore Xenon, endure stealth and a few others) and foung that cycle sizing isnt for normal people.

Im usually a large or extra large, but to get my arms into the jackets I was going to XXL, or XXXL!!! and once I could get my arms in, it was really baggy around the torso. Eventually I got a windproof Altura jacket from Fred Williams In Wolverhampton, Size XL. Loverly.
