Waterproof Jacket Recommendations

Don't understand that, as GoreTex is breathable.
I've had no issues with my Galvin Green Paclite that has long sleeves.
I purposely bought Paclite due to it being thinner so I could just layer up when it's cold.

I don't think your the only one that don't understand Goretex. I saw a programme a few months ago that talked about breath ability of jackets and the university where waterproof jackets are tested. It was excellent. Suffice to say, after the failings of the GG coat, I Asked more questions this time when buying my coat.

nah im the stubborn type who likes to be proven right when they say something enjoy your new shiny coat and act all surprised when you open it

Santa has been very good to me this year. Must be because I behave on this forum ??

So, with all that information digested what jacket will Santa be bringing you, then ?

A red one with a white belt round the middle (and matching hat)

It's a walking jacket ? Adapted for tashyboys special golf swing. In essence Jensen, it has a hood which will fold into the neck. The neck is high so will keep out wind. Important when you have had a broken neck ( that's another story).
Slightly lower over me arse end. Tis I thing of beauty. Plus it was half price ?

I've never had a GG keep me dry!

Best waterproof I had was a Peak Performance gore-tex jacket, sadly the seams started to peel away it was that old.

Now using Cross FTX again which I know performs well if it's kept clean and proofed regularly with Nikwax wash in and cleaner.

Is that because you didn't follow the washing instructions:-
NO fabric softener, and
Garment needs 2 rinses ?

No it's because it's crap.

I find GG jackets suit short fat people with short arms? Ironically, the trousers I have are stupid long, and I am 6 ft 2.

Sounds like the perfect fit for me then.,

Anyone seen any good deals on a jacket recently? Fed up looking like a drowned rat after this week!
