If you've just discovered OUTDOORSmagic through our association with the Trail Talk readers' letters page then welcome to the site - have a poke around, there's a busy forum, our unique user review section and around 2000 editorial articles including news, reviews and features.

If, on the other hand, you're wondering what we're going on about, then check out page 31 of the new issue of Trail where there's a Mountain Equipment Firefly Jacket - pictured - up for grabs for the best letter submitted this month, courtesy of OUTDOORSmagic.com.

The Firefly's made from the excellent Gore-Tex New Paclite fabric, but differs from most Paclite jackets in being cut and featured as a full-on mountain jacket, rather than a short multi-activity style.

That means you get a longer cut, big harness-friendly pockets with water-resistant zips, a helmet-sized mountain hood for climbing or biking use plus it's as neatly cut as all the current Mountain Equipment range.

At 375 grammes for a medium, while it's not quite as light as some, it's still pretty damn impressive. We've been using one for the last month and it's rapidly becoming our favourite lightweight jacket. Full test coming soon.

So if you want to win one, you'd best get hold of a copy of Trail and write and award-winning letter. Good luck...
