DAMN GOOD JACKET

Comfortable, breathable & w/proof.
Very good fit and the best g/tex jkt i've found for the money.
The dwr proofing wore off quite quickly, but the jacket is still fine & you can re-do the dwr coating if youy want to
great jacket - best i've had for a long time and i've had a few over the years. hasn't let me down yet, after two years of using it regularly.

GOOD MULTI PURPOSE JACKET BUT A TAD HEAVY.

I have never, not once in its exixtance got wet. I have worn in a full white out climbing in the cairngorns an it did the job fine. I use it for everythiing.
Its quite heavy especially if your carring a waterproof just to be on the safe side if it rains. The dwr finish does wear off but it still waterproof. The only other weakness would be the length of the skirt when climbing but i suppose it was not even designed fot that
A decent average all round jacket at not a bad price, i got mine for 120 pounds.

FANTASTIC YEAR ROUND JACKET

This jacket has a great hood which has loads of adjustment and moves with the head. The two pockets are huge and take a map no problem. Extremely waterproof and a great price.
Apart from being a bit heavy, none at all.
If the weather is looking grim I always take this jacket. I have never got wet know matter how hard or how long it has been raining. Was a bargain. I only paid £120 for it last year at Cotswold in North Wales.

STRONG 4SEASON PERFORMANCE

Tough, hardwearing, funtionally cut jacket.
I don't consider it to be too heavy as I use it for full on winter use only and use Paclite in other seasons. On a non stop 9hr day of rain in November 2005, must admit to being a bit wet at the end!
So good and so much faith in the brand that I recently replaced my North Face PacLite jacket with a Sprayway Venom PacLite.

GOOD ALL ROUND JACKET FOR A DECENT PRICE.

Comfortable fit.
Very waterproof and breathable.
Good price for a gore-tex jacket.
I found it to be quite short at the front, but i'am 6'4". Other than that no problems.
If you want a jacket thats very waterproof and breathable, with the comfort of 2 layer gore-tex. I'd recommend you part with your money and go and buy one.
