"\n<p class=\"firstpara\">By using stretchy Altec  Reactive fabric, Altura have done away for the need for lots of panels to get a  good shape in the riding position &ndash; this jacket is neat and clean cut without  being baggy. </p><p>This material has been  taped at the seams and feels like it should leave you sweating, but is actually  surprisingly breathable. </p><p>The Reactive fabric  truly lives up to the claims of being waterproof while also being great at  removing inner sweat.</p><p>In the process, it makes  some of its higher end rivals look expensive when it comes to the  price-performance ratio, yet it still packs into a tiny stuff sack for easy  stowing. </p><p>Altura claim some high  breathability figures for their React fabric and it seems to live up to them on  the bike, staying drier longer than anything else at this price and within a  dew drops of the priciest waterproof and softshell cloths.</p><p>&nbsp;It shrugs off a fair amount of weather,  although cosy touches like a fleecy collar are sacrificed to get that low pack  size and high performance.</p><p>It packs small enough to  stuff in your jersey pocket as well as in the included bag..</p><p>It&rsquo;s a classic race cut,  with drawstring base hem and collar, and elasticated and Velcro adjustable  cuffs. There is a single large rear pocket and a front chest pocket both with  sealed zips, but aside from that this is a &lsquo;keep it simple', functional jacket.  The arms were a bit short for our ape testers, though.</p><p>    If you're after a sporty, lightweight, breathable,  windproof and waterproof jacket that you want to carry light and whip on at a  moment's notice, then the Crosslite makes an excellent choice, especially if  you're on a budget.</p>\n"
