As you all know next week is "help keep a Viking warm" week. I've read the hardship stories on this forum about you poor vikings struggling through the cold here in Canberra.
To help out I have nice Uno Jacket which someone might find useful. It's a XL size and has been worn twice, the sleeves once. To cut a long story short, it was an impulse buy after having a few pints and then going into the bike shop next door. The problem is that I just find the jacket too warm. Even last week when it was -2 I was still to warm in the jacket.
Here's the marketing blurb on the jacket
This technically designed jacket is the ultimate for riding or relaxing. Manufactured from Windstopper® material, a 3 layer fabric, and a Polycarbonate micro net inner layer, the ultima-duo is as wind-proof as you can get, keeping you both warm and dry. The Ultima Duo jacket / vest has many features including detachable (zip-off) sleeves, reflective piping, new strong full-length zip, two side zip pockets, and a large security rear pocket - just to name a few. Wear it and love it for years.
Features:
Unisex styling
Detachable (zip-off) sleeves
High collar for protection from cold wind and rain
Made from Windstopper® fabric to keep you warm and dry
Full zip for easy body temperature control and convenience
Side zipped pockets (2)
Large security rear pocket
Reflective piping

The Jacket retails for $160, I'm happy to let it go for $90. If you are interested let me know.
