Having to start to think about replacing (well, backing up) the shredded Barbour. So the arduous task of searching around is on. This will take months (before I probly get another barbour).
I have heard much in favour of ventile, both here and elsewhere - and some against.
Has anyone ever tried a West Winds Airedale jacket?
(their tempest looks too hardcore)

Various weathers. Any good? Did it leak? Does it sweat? Is it warm? Keep the wind out OK? Pockets (esp. a big inside one)? Lining? Hood fit OK? Drawstrings work? Cleanable? Zips? Flaps? Thornproof? This sort of thing
Thanks very much for all hints
