Lightweight jackets

[Scott]

Does anybody have any advice or recommendations for lightweight windproof-type jackets in club colours? We're looking for something like those rather stylish tops that SYO have. Any suggestions of suppliers and/or fabric types would be really appreciated.

Not sure if you can still get hold of them, but I've always really liked the noname "training suit" top. The one that GB squad used to have when they were sponsored by noname (I've got one so we are going back 5+ years here...). Go to http://www.nonamesport.com/ (ogle at the photos of Minna Kaupi on the way past), click link for "tracksuits and overalls" and then "training suit".

Main reason I like it is the back panel which is made out of lycra, making it a really good fit. Unlike some lightweight windproof tops which are fine if you are just standing around, posing on the podium, or doing a gentle warm-up, but not so good if want to actually train in it (e.g. when it is cold out) and don't want it flapping in the breeze or getting snagged on trees.

I'm sure noname can customize for club colours logos etc. too.

I agree, that was by far the best training jacket i've ever hard, because you could actually train in it!

Me too! Luckily my Swedish club has the same kit so I have two. Love them.
