If these ultra light jackets are anything like the ones they were selling last year, I'd steer clear - they're just rubbish. Trust me, you will want to return it. Here's the thread from last year with details (and you'll also have the bonus of a sneak preview to a variety of predictable McLaren jokes). A classic example of 'if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is'.

Hope the products are better quality and more relaible than the F! cars!!!

Dont post to Northern Ireland Weird

this will be obsolete in a couple of months when Honda are dropped in favour of Mercedes.

Looking at a jacket for my 12 year old son, only XLB left.
What size might that be?
Cheers in advance

That's for those with an Xtra Large Brain. :sunglasses:

From when I used to work in sport shop years ago XLB was XL boys which was 13 years but kids these day hey!

It's the blind leading the blind on here, thanks for the feedback, will avoid this purchase :smiley:

Perfect for sunbathing in :smile:

Would you pay £40? Nope. Would you pay £10? Probably so for this price I can't complain. I paid £20 last year and quality is fine.

might be different to the one sold last year..(as in quality, I know it's a different year and design)

I've bought to just keep in the car and I like the bag.... wouldn't risk it for more than 10 quid though

Sizes are small - I'm normally an L or an XL but based on these sizes, I'm an XL or an XXL

scrap

this will be obsolete in a couple of months when Honda are dropped in favour of Mercedes.

Have you not been following? If Honda don't deliver this season, it will be back to Mercedes for sure. They're already talking.

I know its extremely annoying !

Do people still like wearing clothes with big logos/brand names on?

Yeah, they look OK but offer little or no protection from the wind - and anything other than the lightest sprinkle of rain will result in the wearer getting soaked. In heavy rain these even seem to get you more soaked than if you didn't wear it as the material seems to hold the moisture against your clothes.

Oh the website has just broke down :confused:

pity they are now going to be McLaren mercedes

Heat added and ordered - have been after something like this for a while

Fiver at a push.. It's a plastic bag with sleeves

It's an eBay thing, eBay are forcing sellers to offer free next day postage to UK and also penalising sellers who say "fast and free" if they don't actually deliver next day, the problem for eBay sellers is that couriers like parcelforce charge a hefty premium price for Northern Ireland next day delivery.

I put Alonso at Williams next season.

ordered L size jacket, hope it will fit ok, worth a tenner for sure...

few more clothes ready for holiday

Not as good as last years deals, got mine for a fiver and free postage.

How many races did they win in their last 2 years with Merc? Who's idea was 'size zero' engine package that Honda have now abandoned?

I have the packaway jacket and it's incredibly thin, but does a good job of keeping my dry. The bag is delicate too and prone to ripping at the seams. Also, the carabiner is crap and has broken on the two I bought (one returned because the bag ripped as I took the jacket out).

For £10 though, it's very good.

Stupid how they dont put the hold capacity for the water bottle... Cold :neutral_face:

Luckily for them the breakdown truck has been more reliable than their car.

lol no.

Nice, all the gurls will think I'm an F1 driver when I hit the pub to watch the footie with all the w******s.

Why not? Worked great for Brawn GP.

Good valid argument there... Alonso on the tail end of his career, Williams generally take on drivers at the beginning(Stroll, Hulkenberg, Bottas...) or end(Massa/Barrichello...) of their careers... or those who come with big sponsorship opportunities (Maldonado)...

With both Massa and Alonso's contracts ending at the end of this season, if Williams are more competitive than McLaren this season (which is likely), and most other big seats being taken... Red Bull generally promote their own drivers, Mercedes likely to be happy for the next few years with Lewis/Bottas, Ferrari would expect a huge slice of humble pie to be eaten by Fernando for him to go back there...

The next top, option for him is Williams... Although a Reunion at Renault replacing Palmer wouldn't surprise me... It's not as simple as "lol no."

Williams are too terrible right now for Alonso to consider them, it's not a massive step up from McLaren. And I say that as a long time Williams fan.

Alonso's only options are McLaren and Renault. Renault will have the money, McLaren may well drop Honda and get a Merc engine, in which case they'll go back to being much better than Williams, Force India, etc.

These were slagged off last year so BEWARE ..... paper thin and total waste of money are the reports!!!!

And that they had XXL, because he's fat too.

These must have been very slow movers....

Jacket is trending deal on eBay today
Limited sizes available

If it's the same jacket as last time then avoid, the plastic bag it came in is thicker than the jacket.

Mine arrived this morning, it's pretty thin and I'm a little disappointed. It'll live in the car and may come in useful if I ever get caught in the rain, but that's about it. Oh and the sizes are small, glad I got the next one up

This coat is not breathable, you'll be sweating more than a peado in a play ground.

What gets me is that with Amazon Prime I get next day delivery on most purchases the whole way down here to Derry! I will be using Amazon a lot more often, even where a product might be slightly dearer, rather than using eBay or other online shops who charge the earth for quick delivery!

Yeah, the jacket is rubbish, very thin. Wish I'd seen some of the recent comments before ordering. Waste of a tenner.

Came today, its thinner that a rubbish bag :disappointed:

Im sending mine back what a load of ****

item arrived,shockingly poor quality.

Amazingly enough the price has gone up to £15 now. I thought that the plastic bag charge was only 5p.

Amazingly enough people STILL order them even though people above who were stung last year warned them against it ............................

Think it's £1.19 to send it back at the Post Office.

Wore mine over my t shirt going to work on my bike when it was 2°C last week and it was spot on
