It's different in Scotland.

Don't like getting wet unlike you my woolen clad chum because my goretex won't allow it.

I'm aware of the access code in Scotland, and as for Goretex..well; I've already said it.

Each to his own. Enjoy your goretex

Good thread, I too am walking away from spaceage and going traditional. Got me a merino grandad shirt, a Pendleton wool shirt and... well going by this thread, I'm going to check out the ventile shirts. You mean there: http://www.hilltrek.co.uk/acatalog/copy_of_copy_of_Windshirt.html not these: http://www.hilltrek.co.uk/acatalog/Kintail_Ventile.html right?

any links for merino grandad shirt mrcairney?

 

[mrcairney]

It was the grandad Henley (http://bit.ly/mLuHQT) from Howies. I bought it a while ago though and you can't get them anymore. Makes me look like a cowboy in his undies. They've got these now but they look much lighter weight. http://www.howies.co.uk/product.php/3828/0/

alpaca wool poncho with tesco £5 waterproof poncho on top does it for me. plenty of time to dry things out overnight by embers. i dont understand why people are so troubled by being wet these days especially with all the downtime you get during the usual evenings out in the bush for drying etc

Presuming you can have a fire and you really don't want to get wet through in winter, especially a Scottish winter because cold kills quick.

Of course when it is wet, Ventile does this, which is not ideal for a multi-day wet trip :

I've just clocked the fact that it's standing up by itself...

Yes, Steve. Although I'm looking at this Country Innovation Kestrel Smock as well.

And I thought the problem was it shrank the owner

Good thread
