Altura Nevis Jacket.

Gunner · Posted: Wed Nov 12, 2008 6:55 pm Post subject: Altura Nevis Jacket.

Just bought one of these jackets after seeing Grant wearing one, on one of our rides, he highly recommended it, and I already have a Altura Night Vision and Altura Stream, both of which are great, so I thought "what the Hell".

I can really recommend Ribble, they're service is great with really fast delivery times every time I've used them.

The Jacket is Xl and ideal for me at 6' 1", I went for the blue colour and the cut is fantastic, the material is a lot lighter and somewhat more pliable than the feeling you get when wearing the Night Vision jacket.

Like the Stream, the chest pocket is a good touch too.

Highly recommend this jacket Wink

basicly some one i no ordered a shimano dura ace groupset, rang up a couple of days later wondering were it was, so they said they should of posted it, or if not we'll post it again today. so the next day the groupset come, he thought crist that was quick. then a week later up popped another one Very Happy

I have an older model (like this one) that I got with a subscription to MBR. Mine is grey and doesnt have the front pocket. The material must have changed too as the one I have feels quite stiff and hard wearing. I like it as it doesn't feel like it will be ripped easily in the event of a crash, like some waterproofs.

I have both the Nevis (Yellow) and Night-Vision (Black) which are both excellant jackets. I use both for going to work on these cold/freezing nights. I think out of the two, I've always favoured the Nevis, being a snugger fit than the Night-Vision. But the Night-Vision is the more waterproof of the two, the Nevis is better in rush-hour traffic.

They are fantastic, light weight, watrproof jackets. I have them in black and yellow and can really recommend them. I have had the black one on both times we have been out Mally. They fold up really small which is a bonus.

Get one while you can Wink
