    Cactus rain jacket

    Who owns one? Im sure they are well made and last but how heavy and bulky are they? Not wanting to know other brands people have just keen on the cactus one, or possibly the earth sea sky hydropohbia. Cheers guys.

    Ive got the version before the rain jacket. Its a bit shorter but made of the same stuff. Great jacket and really rugged. Well worth the money.

    I have had mine a while now and I am really happy with it. No negatives that spring to mind given that you know what you are buying (it isn't super lightweight and it doesn't pack down super small). Great fit (as mentioned the extra length is nice) and you won't be wearing it out in a hurry!

    Same here. The Mountain jacket they call it.
    Happily it folds up to the perfect size for a pillow. Unless it's cold enough to wear the jacket inside my sleeping bag... Only had to do that once though.
    Every machine is a smoke machine,
    If you use it wrong enough.
