Sounds like a pub coat from a street brand scottie

I use an inov8 mistlite. Folds up neatly to make it's own bumbag and can easily fit my maps, compass and trousers at a squeeze. It's got a hood and a whistle on the buckle. Take it on all my runs.

Mine isn't waterproof for longer than half an hour and they don't have taped seams so strictly speaking aren't admissible as waterproof kit, it's a good shower resistant windproof though.

Tried the inov8 Mistlite, but no way will the sleeves push up. The Atomic is coming up favourite so far...

it's a good make and a good bit of kit and not too dear

I've got the trousers and if I didn't already have a Marmot Mica jacket (also recommended), I'd get the jacket too

You should try the marmot preclip as well.

I find its a better fit than the Atomic, hood gives you more protection.

Find them both not very breathable though.

If I was getting a jacket for short (2-3 hour) races I'd be inclined to go for a H2O lightspeed.

If you want something for more extreme conditions I'd look at the Rab or Montane Event jackets, I got my Montane Event for around £100 but they do weigh more.

Since I've got a Haglofs OZ I don't use anything else, its by far the lightest jacket I've got but I do lots of 8-12h runs in all weathers year round so could justify the price. :sneaky:

I find Event works better than Gortex but the OZ is less than half the weight of my Montane Event Jacket.

Just picked up a Montane velocity DT to cover me for both winter on the fells and cycling, following the reviews on here.
After a bit of negotation we settled on £60 cash. A bargin I'd say.
So I bought a pair of 290 mudroc's £45 another bargin.

Which waterproof jacket would be considered better, at the moment I,m stuck between the Omm Kamleika or a Montane Atomic DT, your thoughts would be appreciated.
