Ive just returned from a great trip to both Orkney and the Shetland isles.
Whilst looking around Lerwick last Saturday afternoon, it was a struggle to find anything to buy, so i bought a rather nice waterproof coat for just £18.
Its made by a company called Highlander, and its their Pack & Go model.
It may not be the most technical bit of kit out there, but its surprisingly well made for something so cheap, and has one heck of a good hood, with good adjusters, a lot better than far more expensive jackets ive tried on.
Why did i buy it ? well i had to have something to remind me of my trip to Shetland, and its the kind of waterproof one can hide away in the car just incase you get caught in the rain.
I know there are far better waterproofs available, but i very much doubt anyone will find a similar spec fully waterproof coat for such little money, and its surprisingly breathable as well, as i wore the thing to walk around Lerwick in fairly warm conditions.
No sweat or condensation built up inside, so for £18, i was much impressed.
