Hi AnthonyAnthony Micallef said:Thank you for your replies, I'm even more confused now! I think what I'm after is a jacket that does a bit of everything, keeps me warm and dry and is able to be worn without having to add other layers over the top of it. If it comes with a removable fleece then so be it.
Just taking the following things into consideration:
- warm and dry
- does a bit of everything
- less than £150
- general outdoor winter jacket
I reckon your best bet would be a Barbour, or similar waxed jacket.
On the other hand if I had the £150 to spend on myself, I would get:
Buffalo Mountain Shirt £70
Windproof Smock £15
Cheap Fleece £20-30
MOD Police Goretex Jacket £15
German Army Poncho £12
Which I think would be pretty handy in a lot of different situations.
Cheers, P
