Thread: What Jacket next?

Yeah it seems there is no prefect answer. I also use an ex army Goretex for winter, heavy and noisy but if it rains it mostly keeps you dry. I have some "fucking rubbish" for ripping up in the scrub and keeping me covered during milder weather. I would probably destroy one of thoes expensive jackets too quickly. I remember using my NZDF swandry a lot in Waioru, warm and good for blocking but wind it got heavy when whet but is probably bullet resistant. Made a good pillow also.
