Ta, I'll have a look

 

Tell them you're ex-SAS and big buddies with Bear Grylls and Ray Mears, they might knock a tenner off.

I'd rather pay the tenner!

Latest news -

 

Last week I splashed out (ha!) £70 for 2 ex-Austrian army waterproof yet breathable 'Goretex' jackets from the internet. They arrived promptly and looked the business.

 

Today Stevo and I got absolutely, utterly soaked right through to our knacker-sacks. Yes, it's been wet all day, but I was soaked after the first shower.

 

Time for the Cut and Climb I think.

 

£150 now seems a bargain to stay dry all winter.

 

I've got a cut and climb smock as well it is superb, and actually waterproof!!

 

 

Very good service and quick delivery from Clark's.

I was carving for 3 hours in constant rain this morning and got totally soaked in my new Stein. Certainly not waterproof.

The DPM stuff seems good but it doesn't half snag stubble!

Well it was lashing down this morning, first time since I got a Stien Evo2 jacket a couple of months ago.

 

Apparently it uses different, tougher, more waterproof material than the original and the zips are improved.

The cut seems really good for wearing with a harness and the material certainly feels quite tough.

The fleece collar feels nice and although it was pouring down, it wasn't cold but when I took the jacket off early afternoon, my t-shirt was only damp from sweat.

For the price I wouldn't expect this jacket to stand up to the harshest weather for years on end and I don't think Stien could pretend otherwise.

I will say though that for the money I'd rate this as top quality. Definitely recommendable IMO.

I purchased one of these. Brand new, in the bag and does what it is meant to. Also has a hood.

I have to say being a still serving soldier I have put my goretex through some sh1t and it has always done the job, even after being in the pouring wet up the side of a mountain for days on end. I have done 10 years and had 2 in that time. For what civies pay they are worth it when they are so durable! The newer ones are better as they have pockets where the old ones didnt.
