I recently picked up a few pairs of combats in drab and black and a few t-shirts from a dark and dingy little surplus clothing store down the road and they had an M65 jacket for sale for £40... Bargain, I thought so I treated myself.
I've just got back from a nice few days in Brighton with Eloise and was shocked at how warm it actually was whilst wandering around and walking on the sea front. I admit, it's not really arctic outside but it was pretty windy.
It spat with rain for most of the weekend and the water looked like it beaded on the fabric but I doubt it's waterproof... or is it?
I have a few big cans of nikwax spray and I was thinking of giving it a blast.
Over all I think it's a brilliant jacket and for the money, I think it will be worn to death... the only thing that's narked me is the lack of loop to hang it on.
Any advice on waterproofing vs breathability or anything would be most welcome.
Cheers
Joe
