The mate had one builder. Lasted a month and then bought a ridgeline. Said it wasnt waterproof and made him sweat like crazy no matter the combination of layers.

Hope this helps mate.

If it's anything like the shoulder bag I was given for Christmas it would be absolute rubbish, I thought it was a cheap copy at first but it's the real thing. :(

I have a jacket and trouser set. Very comfortable and still waterproof.
I wear the jacket every day when training my cockers up here in the colder northern climes.

My only issue is that it's a bugger to dry - soft fabric hold moisture.

I had a Jack Pyke jacket for fishing and had real problems with the waterproofing. It leaked from day one. That said, my fishing partner had one and never had a problem with it, 2 years later still going strong. I had a look at the Seeland jackets but ended up with the Harkila, in my opinion the best jacket ever. However, for the money it needs to be!

I'll second the vote for Paramo, I love mine but not for beating in the winter. They're anything but rip-proof.
