Waterproof jackets
« on: January 14, 2013, 12:01:43 pm »
I'm looking at replacing the waterproof jackets our guys use for new ones, we currently use Regatta gear, which is ok but nothing startling.  I was just wondering what waterproof jackets you guys prefer.  I've looked at a few from the companys that stitch on the logos and they are all too heavy and bulky, I want something good without paying Berghaus prices.  I probably need 10 jackets

I tend to buy my wet weather gear and winter boots from a sports shop called decathlon ( they're on line too )
Good quality at reasonable prices
Thanks,

They are well worth paying that bit extra
