Is that the gilet?
If so it is my favourite bit of kit. It weighs nothing, packs into it's own pocket and goes everywhere with me. I just throw it on when I stop for lunch or whatever, and I have never had any problem with it getting waterlogged.
When I bought it I thought it was a bit of a luxury, but am totally converted!
They do gilets and jackets all called Torres so I assume they're all the same sort of thing.
I have a few Q's if you don't mind:
So how warm would you say it is compared to, say a standard lightish fleece midlayer?
Do you keep it on the outside of your waterproof in prolonged rain, or would you wear it as a mid layer in those conditions?
If you do keep it outside in the rain, how wet does it get? Say it rains for an hour or two and then clears up, you put the wet thing in your rucksack? I'm wondering - then you have a wet insulator which isn't going to be nice if you need it later, say in a tent or whatever?
I'm trying to work out how it would fit in for overnight backpacking after a rainy day. I do have a Paramo jacket and I justify it's extra weight and warmth by not taking as many midlayers. I.e. I count it as a softshell too and take one less fleece layer, At this time of year that would mean thin base-layer, basic fleece, Paramo jacket and maybe by light down jacket if it's gonna be a clear cold night. I run warm and generally the fleece would only see action at stops or in the tent as part of my dry gear. If I was to use a Torres gilet or jacket then I'd be thinking of leaving that fleece at home so as not just to add weight for no real reason. However it that's been rained on during a mountain-top lunch then now I have a damp insulator in the tent with me or the next day. Or am I missing the point?
