Did someone mention they have a Keela Ventile ?
I have had one for years, they are superb (service is far quicker than West Winds too).
I have a single layer one, I have sewn the hood in place and replaced the hood drawcords with shock cord. I have added chest pockets too. I cut the lining out to make it quicker drying and added buttons on the inside to accept a Dutch Army Goretex liner. I have used this combination in some pretty fowl conditions (Dartmoor, Cambrians, Brecon, Knoydart,etc) and it is bombproof.
The liner only wieghs a few ounces and takes up no space at all in my bergen, they are cheap too (£12.50).
Can you still get seconds from Keela?
