Default Good all weather jackets?

im after a jacket for walking and camping etc as ive got nothing thats suitable for all weather conditions, dont want it to be too bulky, but enough to keep me pretty warm and dry when its cold

whats the difference between north face and berghaus? i dont want to spend more than about £75

Wait till you have about £200 and get a decent Sprayway one. Top stuff that i've used for walking/mountaineering/camping for years.

Tog 24 and if you manage to catch a decent sale or go to a retail outlet, you should get one for under £100.

I have a Winster jacket that cost me around £100. It is a fleece that zips into the water and windproof outer lining for extra protection. Ive camped up the side of scafell pike in november and was warm You dont need to spend sily money on the gear

have to up your spending if you want a decent one.

think the Berghaus i got, a 4 in 1 type, was about £150-£175 iirc.

is really good and keeps you warm.

As used by loads of military people, try:

Buffalo - Fleece Jacket

https://www.cotswoldoutdoor.com/webp...on=brand_intro

and/or


a Softie.

http://www.snugpakclothing.com/produ...sp?JBProdID=44

I have both and wear them on their own or even together (with no other layers) when fishing in winter. Been quite happy sat still for our in freezing conditions.
