Polaris have a sale on. I can certainly vouch for the Vapour jacket - bargain at £15

Similarly, the Enduro jacket

I have two already but I'm still struggling not to order another at that price!

I reckon you might fit a medium John. Mine has a bit of spare room.

Yeah I have a Vapour jacket as well (that I paid a lot more than that for) and it's excellent in cool conditions.

Hi, for those who have one of the Polaris jackets, are these larger sized? Small more medium or med more large? These seems to good a deal to pass up.

I bought size large which is my normal choice. It's a spacious MTB fit on me (not baggy). If I were buying for a road bike I'd consider medium. I'm 5'11" and 34" waist/42" chest.

Mine's a M and I'm a 40" chest. Fits well but with enough room for a good layer underneath.

I thought this was the real polaris bargain. Only in Pink8, not my style, but'll suit someone

Do you think this would suit chillier autumnal rides or would the Enduro be a better bet?

It has a fleece lining so is pretty warm. I bought mine for the colder months.

I've ordered a Vapour to add to my 2 AMs.

I also ordered some more of the Fixie straps.

Cheers. Judging by some replies about sizing I might need to opt for the small, I'm 36 inch chest and 30 inch waist. Or do you you think I should opt for medium?

I tend to think that a jacket that's a bit too big is much more use than one that's too small :wink:

went for a small in both [ MTB fit is unlikely to be skin tight on me]
Also went for some bib reduced from £90 to a tenner that i did not really need.

Cheers for the heads up

Polaris have been popular...got my money refunded but no email confirming it was due to lack of stock. Shame.

When did you order from them? I've not received my order or a refund yet, expecting the same as you unfortunately.
