I just spent £200 on a goretex high viz from fristads. Got it last week so expect a dry winter! It looks very tough and well made.

 

I had a decent gortex northface jacket in black and some black US military overtrousers previously. I've had my North Face jacket since 1999 and it's still great. I just figured I was a bit difficult to see. Theres no such thing as bad weather only bad kit. Or something like that. I like decent kit and think its worth paying the extra.. I don't like being cold and wet!

I've got a Paramo smock. If I lost it/ burnt it/ chopped it tomorrow I would get another straight off. Its got dirty, oily and a few holes in, but the construction's great and I can't see it leaking. The shape's great, good to climb in, not too flappy or tight, with really good vent zips in the front. It's kept the wet out on some horrible cold, pissy days.

 

The paramo shirts are the business too. They pump water away from your bod, so if you get wet, after about 5 minutes the inside is dry and warmand the outside wet and cold. They're the only thing I've worn that washes clean time after time without grubby tree and machine stains :)

 

Top stuff....

 

:D
