Well I went to try some jackets on today everything from mountain equipment, Rab and the rest and I really liked the berghaus paclite trek which has an amazing hood and water resistant zips etc, I also found myself quite drawn to a jack wolfskin jacket but it didn't have the obvious 'storm' features that the berghaus and I'm wary having never tried the brand, the material looked hard wearing and was more midrange in terms of weight. My issue is that when its hamering with rain I'm normally very warm, I have to work hard to walk on a slope (I know must get fitter). So anyway the saga continues, have found the paclite for 122.99 though so that's cool wish they had better colours though, the jack wolfskin is a fabulous green.
