Yes, or you can get the Royal Navy ones in blue if you look around

I ca not disagree more Jon, mine has only lasted about 6 months. It now leeks all over, and it is not a good fit for people at the larger end of the spectum.

Its one saving grace is the fleece lined neck, always comfy no matter how wet.

Don't think I'd be too keen on using one of those for work at that price Drew.

I've just bought a really cheap (less than £18!) waterproof and breathable jacket from Trespass UK | Outdoor Clothing, Fleece, Ski Wear & walking Boots.

 

Despite the price, it's about the best waterproof I've owned, including my expensive wet weather biking gear. It has been well tested recently as well . I'm not sure how the fit and manouverability will suit climbing and general arb' work, but it's worth having a look at the 'site.

 

I'm not sure if there's any hiviz in theur range. How about a nice pastel shade instead?

Sorry Bro, I'm a skinflint at heart. I just wait for Taupo District Council to buy mine though to be fair I have been on the look out for a decent waterproof for when I take off up the mountains. Kathmandu had a 60% off sale the other day but I've heard a few things about the quality of some of the gear. I'm liking the sound of some of this ex military stuff though.

personally i wouldnt touch Kathmandu with a barge pole.But im also bias to macpac. The Ex-mil stuff from the uk is bloody good. Can we get the NZ army swazi made stuff here?
