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?

Well I've heard of it raining cats and dogs but never geese and chickens.
Still maybe it was weather for ducks? :wink:

I've had my Keela for years prpbably about 7-8 to be presiceish. Must add that mine is 1 of the early ones and has a teflon coating and I have been over the moon with it. The down side I have missplaces the internal fleece that goes with it, but I have since found out that any fleece will zip in so the ex works 200 polartec fills the gap nicely!!!
