Looking to buy a waterproof jacket to wear in the summer whilst out walking/birding etc. Not a smock or raincoat, proper jacket.
I have a Deerhunter Montana 2G coat for the winter and it is great, really great but if I detach the fleece and then put the coat on it drowns me.
I am look at the trade off between rustle-free and waterproof, the usual dilemma.
I looked at Regattra Cross Penine (yes they really did spell it like that!) with a 15000 hydrostatic head. That seems to be pretty waterproof?
I wonder if anyone has any experience of this jacket or any of the other Regatta lot.
Some people seem to like the Jack Pyke and Ridgeline Mallard and then you see a load of reviews that suggest they are not too waterproof.
As it is a summer thing, I am trying to keep the weight down too.
Something around £70 or below?
