Dare2B Affusion wet weather jacket offers great protection against the rain, though is a little heavier than others on test

Cycling Weekly Verdict

The Dare2B is almost twice the weight of the Endura, which was evident on a wet, 12°C morning, when it proved just a tad too warm for hard riding. Water resistance is excellent with the raindrops beading well off the tough material, with no chance of any seam leakage thanks to broad taping.
