"http://www.theoutdoorshop.com/ in Stony Stratford is always near the mark moneywise. Decent discount with BMC of 20% if they don't have it cheaper than RRP."

Great shop - apart from my Paramo gear I've bought everything else from them - highly recommended.

I've 'washed in' a Berghaus which was then waterproof and quite pleasant to wear but I did the same to a Country Innovation coat which was quite unpleasant.

Torres jacket .
How's the hood ?
Is it wired ?

No not wired.
The hood is large.

I bought the jacket version - don't like the tight fit - don't like being strangled by the velcro hood - don't like the cold wind penetrating the pertex outer = don't like the cross venting - can't think of anything I like about it at all.

Far happier in a Paramo Torres smock knowing that I'll be both warm and dry.

I own a lot of Montane gear which is excellent - the Extreme is not one of them.

All of this 'warm when wet' garbage - I'd rather not be wet in the first place.

One of my worst buys ever.
