Interstellar garb for storming wide open spaces or darting through rush hour traffic. Gordon repels drizzle and blocks out nasty winds but remains highly breathable thanks to its lightweight 3 layer HydroFoil™ Plus fabric. Zipping off the yoke and sleeves converts it into a hi-visibility waterproof vest... great in warmer conditions when you want maximum cooling but only need partial protection from the elements. Sometimes less is more.

Like the drivetrain or expensive components on your bike, proper care and maintenance is essential to extend the life of your HydroFoil™ rain jacket or pants and optimise their performance over time.
The sizes are large I bought a medium and needed a small The small fits good
Very good fit. It rained on the first ride I did after receiving it, so I was really pleased to have bought it. It kept the water off me superbly. It is also nicely windproof but I was not overly hot, wearing it for a 3.5 hour ride over 80 km. Highly recommend it.
I purchased this as a replacement of my previous Flash Gordon which I guess would be 10years old. The only problem was the inner silver layer is peeling off. I note the improved design with the detachable sleeves and cape. I liike the bright orange colour which makes a change from all the yellow hi-viz .
Ordering from Australia was easy spoke to a sales person who made it easy to gauge the correct sizes. Delivery was quick only a few days. Great service.
Wednesday 30 September 2009 Order No. 141246. That was when I ordered my Flash Gordon rain coat. It has been used for cycling, hiking, general rainy day use - the lot. It has finally given up the ghost this week with the inner lining starting to peel. Love this jacket, seriously considering getting another.
