Thread: What Jacket next?

After using a lot of well known brands that did not live up to the hype I tried ex UK military gore tex gear now I stay dry ,Liked the gear that much we bought Outpost Supplies (google us ) I don't know If its appropriate to advertise on this forum .
When wearing any breathable waterproofs you need layers of clothing to transport the water vapour away from your skin, if the water vapour cant travel through these layers then the breathable membranes cant do their job and you will feel damp, micro fleece is good at this. If the DWR water proof coating is not working then the outer fabric will wet out and wont breath properly.

Think that may be what happened with the Hunter's Element jacket, DWR not applied properly, it wetted out and didn't breathe (also that wet outer becomes like a heat exchange).
