Hi everyone,
I need to get my winter gear sorted out. In the past I had a fishing jacket which was very warm, waterproof and windproof with a detachable lining. Trouble was it was heavy, and troubled with condensation.
It's given up now and I'm inclined to go for 3 layers as follows:
Thermal vest
Reasonable shirt
Lightweight fleece if weather is severe
Cheapish outer waterproof/windproof/breathable jacket with hood to avoid expensive tears on thorns etc.
The idea is that I can use waterproof outer in summer showers and build up the layers as needed in colder weather. Does this sound good? I'm wondering if a fleece is good or whether a good quality thermal vest with pullover would be at least as good? Advice would be great.
I'm guessing to might be tricky to get the outer layer size right ( too baggy in summer and tight in winter? ) Also I'm hoping to shed 2.5 stones in the next few months so don't want to spend a fortune at the moment
Can anyone recommend good outer jackets and fleece -( or should I go for jumper and thermals as alternatives? )
Thank you for your help
