I don't have a turbo trainer, a smart bike, or even a dusty set of rollers in the loft. For some reason unbeknownst to me, and to the annoyance of my equipment, I'd rather spend time riding in the rain than on a simulation of cycling on a laptop. This means that I've been putting a giant stack of waterproof jackets through their paces in some particularly foul conditions to create my guide to the best waterproof cycling jackets.
The bulk of my testing took place over a particularly squally winter holed up in Cornwall in the far southwest of the UK. As the first place any Atlantic storms make landfall gale force winds and driving rain were commonplace, with some rides so wet they managed to kill a brand new front light in under an hour.
