Has anybody got one of these? Looks like a quality and robust Winter jacket to me for about £105.

Argh! Like Ragna I've just purchased a Paramo Cascade at half price. At least I think I have, they haven't sent me an email yet to confirm delivery :C
I like this jacket though, even with the 'retro' styling. The outside looks as though it should be thornproof and I prefer the quilted lining to a removeable fleece which is a bit of a fiddle usually.
If GoOutdoors let me down I'm definitely going for this one. :t:
Cheers for the info, Chris!

Good decision, I've got one.
The lining isn't quilted though, it's what's called a 'pump liner' and is what stops the 'boil in a bag' feeling you can get with membrane jackets.
As Paramo doesn't rely on a membrane for proofing thorn pricks won't affect the integrity, rips can be sewn up.
If you've never handled any Paramo gear I think you'll be in for a surpise (pleasant of course).
One thing I found was that as the draw cords are flat the supplied locks were a bit weedy - get a pack of Hi-gear ones from Millets for £1.50

My local branch of Debenhams has the Craghopper jacket currently on sale for £70, I don't know if other stores across the country have the same deal on.

It's OK, the email fell foul of my over-zealous BT Yahoo spam blocker. They have to get it from Wakefield but it should be on its way.

Just as an addendum, the jacket arrived on a Tuesday after ordering it on the preceding Thursday. It is exremely lightweight but very warm and showerproof. My only grumble is for people like me with long arms the sleeves (on size large) could be an inch or two longer. Other than that, good value at £90.
