new jacket required
« on: August 26, 2020, 18:33:00 »
got around £200 to spend on a new jacket, must be w/p (not a w/p liner). my current Oxford montreal lets so much water in through the sleeves I may as well not wear it. any recomendations pls

I've got a Merlin jacket similar to the picture below , I paid £200 for it around 5 years ago.

It's wax cotton, not everyone's choice but it's never leaked and it's warm, its got a removable liner and armour.

It performs way above its price tag .

A big plus is that it doesn't have a big lairy gold badge on saying "THIS IS A BARBOUR, I'VE GOT MORE CASH THAN SENSE!!"

For £250 you could get the Oxford Modial jacket. I've got the whole suit. Great products. Laminate design so wp but No liner. Totally dry, and I've been in some prolonged rain.

Winning that case would be against all odds, but I don't care any more - must have been something in the air last night because it feels like another day in paradise this morning...

Have a look at the RST X Raid, fully waterproof and it's within your budget I believe.

I have seen good reviews of the mondial also and the bloke in infinity yesterday was also singing the praises of the x raid.
