I use one of these

windproof and showerproof, turns into a short sleeve for summer. It's not too cheap (you didn't say what you consider too pricey!) but it is quality. I even crashed in mine at 20mph and there is not a mark on it, which is more than you can say for me!

I bought one of these,great bit of kit light weight,with just a good wick layer I have rode to -4 in it,a little extra money for quality kit,but its worth it

It's really, really good. Couldn't believe how effective it was the first time I wore it.

+1 for the Gore phantom

I`ve got the Altura and found it ok with a Merino base . Link here for a good price if they have your size left. I`m 44/45 in chest and found xxl is perfect for me , not too tight or baggy.

Great fit (in a different league to the Altura Nightvision windproof), windproof in all the right places, and IME suitable for anywhere between -5°C and +10°C with the right choice of baselayer. I tried a Gore Phantom before getting this and found it to be too baggy and it looked like it'd be too warm (for me) for anything above 5-10°C so unsuitable as a general winter jacket.

thanks for this just had a look that price is about right for me was looking at the assos one's and just seem a little on the high side i know there stuff is good but surely can find something at more sensible price that does the same job
