As I've said a few times before I regret buying my Paramo Alta 2, easily leaks, too much faffing about trying to maintain its waterproofness, it's too heavy and in the summer just too hot to wear and when I want to stuff it in my rucksack it doesn't roll up small enough. Then my zip went so it's now in my garage, dumped!
I now use a cheap waterproof coat but my alternative is my Marmot Precip, I now know I prefer single skin jackets, for me much better!
My Marmot hood failed about three years ago, the waterproofing inner rubbed off so I've adapted it. I've cut the hood off and have thrown it away and then bought a £5 Decathlon poncho to compliment it. I've cut the Poncho down to just include the hood and a bit of the material to cover my shoulders with a bib sized bit down my front and a bib sized bit down my back. If it rains I just slip it over my head and its held down over my Precip with my rucksack shoulder straps, it works very well and it just rolls up into a tiny cigar sized item when not in use. When it rains I also wear my Lowe Alpine hat under the hood. Cutting items up for a specific purpose seems to be a useful way to save space and to carry less weight. I'm thinking of cutting up my Vaude Poncho but haven't yet made the decision.
