I just had 2 heart attacks, one from that link and the other from your sending location. I don't get SuperDry, they put Japanese characters on their branding for no apparent reason. well, okay, it looks cool. I find it's like buying cloth in China with random English words, most of the time it doesn't make any sense. Sent from the Super Star Destroyer
If you do go Superdry then buy 1 size up from normal. They use Japanese sizes (well they say they do) so you need to buy bigger than normal (e.g. XXL if you're usually XL)
Looks like they perfected cloning too. I bought a Mountain Equipment raincoat in black for the winter rain, because, Cornwall. Although pretty much anything with a Gore-Tex membrane will do, unless you plan on swimming in it.
Yeah I went for TNF Tri-Climate for much the same reasons. Will do me through the current wet weather and be nice and cosy with the down insert when the snow hits. I'm hearing from lots of people that this years winter is expected to be worse than 2010 snow wise due to a combination of La Nina and weaker than normal Gulf Stream.
I have one of those 3-zipper windcheaters and it is great. I had one before this one but managed to loose it somewhere. The thing I love about it is the high collar which really protects you against the wind and rain of the Danish autumn. And for the record, you will not look chavy in it unless you go for the track pants and reversed cap at the same time.
Ouch that stuff is horrendously expensive. On the subject of superdry however the windcheaters are the best bet, personally I just don't like the branding on most of their products. Sent from the Sarlac's Stomach
From what I remember, there aren't many mountains in southern England And even at that price, you (as in one, not you Krikkit ) can still look like a ***b in it despite the price
Why not get yourself some outdoor gear that won't break the bank? Berghaus, Northface to name a few. I usually wear a windproof fleece to keep my warm and a paclite jacket in my bag incase things get wet.
Helly Hansen. Great materials, great quality, used by those sailing teams that race around the world, etc. I have several of their jackets/baselayers and they're fantastic. The materials they use also have a tendency to shed water extremely quickly- coming in from a downpour the coat will be dry as a bone in around 20 minutes.
This man speaks some truth. They do some plainish coats that are suitable for day to day use. Not the bright yellow of lots of sailing gear. Sent from Coruscant
Oh definitely- I am not suggesting you go for the "hardcore trans-Oceanic sailor" look. The jackets I own look "normal"- and some are actually fairly nicely styled. Nothing with giant pockets and what not, just plain coats that do their job very well.
I can second the Arc'Teryx vote if you are looking for something extremely durable and warm. My scout friends swear by the brand.
There are certainly some hills and some significant moorland! TBH I recommended it simply because it's what I've found works for me (I've got one of their cheaper soft-shells). I'm a fat ******* and sweat a phenomenal amount and needed something exceptionally breathable, and that's the only thing I've tried so far that doesn't leave me as wet as if I'd just left the coat behind. Paramo are the other one worth looking at as well.
