I've got a basic HG Sheltex jacket. Bit like this one: http://www.hein-gericke.co.uk/clothing/m...-grau.html
Hasn't been too bad, with the zip in liner, it's been plenty warm this winter. Waterproof-ness has been fine. Just the one time is was really coming down hard and I was out for an hour or so, the rain ran down my arms under my glove cuff and started to soak the trimming on the end of the arms of the jacket. Otherwise no leaks. In the summer the liner comes out and theirs vents under the arms, seemed alright, but I only got it for the tail end of last summer, and it wasn't super hot. Can be a bit tight around neck mind, especially if you've got a thick fleece and neck gater on. No sign of wear after 6 months use every day.
I paid about £120 in their sale last summer. Also picked up some slot in armour for the back too. Can't really moan for the price.
