Roadies use a Buffalo equivalent which lets the moisture in but keeps you warm and dries in a jiffy. They may take a cheap waterproof shell out for when it gets really bad. Buffalo gear is truly excellent: their pertex shells are amazingly cheap and have 'pit' zips which extend down their whole sides. Ventilation is the key to keeping the sweat levels down - a GoreTex or equivalent with good vents will keep you dry in the downpours and yet keep the condensation levels down to an acceptable level, even when hard mountain biking. <BR/>I would say that you do need a heavy Goretex for Scottish winter days out though. Up there the sweat level is far outweighed by the need to keep the elements out.<BR/>AndyAndy Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03653188060329155093noreply@blogger.com
