Thats the thing ive found, As im sure alot of us have, At keeping you dry, There are plenty of jackets out there that do that well, When your stood still, Or out for a walk but as soon as you start grafting, You sweat buckets anyway

well i just bought one of these cutandclimb Arb Jacket | Grey and Orange and had it on all today, for both climbing and groundwork.....was raining all day and it kept me bone dry, so am pretty pleased so far!! just a case of seeing how long it lasts now.

 

i also had a stein jacket for a while which i was happy with...ripped it just the other day though hence the replacement

 

They look good steve, and i want one but it doesnt really rain enough here to warrant getting one.
