My montane is great but a £160 jacket shouldn't spend most it's life in a bum bag! I think it's probably worth spending more on wind proofs, which you'll run in more and buying cheap mac and packs for the bumbag. My omm sonic smock is so light I'll probably carry as well as my waterproofs for serious summer races.

Obviously my Montane is great for big days out in bad weather.

Last year at Buttermere the weather got a bit knarly on Causey Pike, a wind-proof would've been perfect for running in, but you'd want some waterproofs if you stopped...
