I’m looking for a jacket that will be good for general use for spring, autumn with a t-shirt / baselayer, summer showers and still useful when its colder with a thin fleece when walking etc…
In the summer, it will be more of a “oh bugger, it’s quite cool and rainy and I want to walk to the shops / campsite loo etc” jacket (funnily enough nothing in the marketing blurbs mentions this) and in the winter it will be a cross between going for a proper walk with a pack and general use.
Could do with a hood and long sleeves, breathable and nice against the skin(!)
I was thinking along the lines of a softshell and from pictures on the internet the Rab Baltero, Mountain Equipment Astron or the Marmot ROM all of which have hoods, but are possibly too warm and I realise I’m probably over jacketing myself. But if something is worth doing its worth wildly overdoing.
Any other suggestions gratefully received!
