It's time for me to buy a new touring/winter jacket, and I'm a little out of touch with the new kit.
I've always been a Hein Gericke shopper in the past, but they've buggered off out if the UK now, and the euro ones colour schemes resemble an 80's shell suit!!
Been looking at an RST paragon iv, and an ixon krypton hp as a couple of ideas. Anyone got one of these?
Anyone got any other jackets that'd be worth a punt at?
My picky criteria is:-
£250 limit.
Waterproof. (no removable liners!!!)
Warm as toast. (With removable liner)
W/p pockets. Traditional 4 pocket design is my favourite.
3/4 ish length.
Gore tex used to be my big thing, but I'm sure there's just as good alternatives out there now.
