You doing the right sort of search JG? Try searching for Pertex and tick the box to search contents. I've been on the lookout for a Mardale jacket (like the Buffalo with the map pocket but thinner. There's allsorts from softee jackets to Montane.

Cotswolds do a wide range of jackets in different guises. Or there's the Mountain Warehouse which do good quality garments.

 

I got my Sprayway gore-tex jacket from MW. Should have been £200, I think I paid £140 for it. The only thing with any of these type of jackets is that they do need re-proofing at least twice a year. Nikwax do specialist cleaning & re-proofing stuff but it ain't cheap.

 

Hope this helps.

Iv got a north face 900 puffa jacket and its wicked but worth £200+ but my next winter/walking coat will be a buffalo as they are so good. :lol:

 

Are you going to shoot it yourself? :good:

 

What is a buffalo? I'm assuming some sort of jacket and not the bovine creature that gives us mozzerella.

 

Do you wear the puffa jacket when you go cruising in your pimped up Nova? :lol:

Are you sure?

 

I thought the goretex membrane was what keeps the water out, this is usually bonded to the back of

the outer shell material.

 

 

Nial.
