After years of dog walking, being worn for work, occasional bike rides basically everything my Finisterre Storm track is getting close to being retired.
I know that Finisterre have an excellent repair and alteration service which I am keen to explore but only after looking elsewhere.
This is what I have at the minute:
Blurb:
➡ Waterproof / windproof, durable and breathable. Made from 100% recycled polyester ripstop windshell outer, with Finisterre NappaTM Lining, exclusively developed by Finisterre. The warp knitted 100% polyester lining keeps you dry by actively moving moisture away from the body. The synergy between the two layers creates a new standard in waterproof and breathable protection.
➡ Slim ergonomic cut
➡ Helmet compatible, fully adjustable, pack-away hood
➡ Central 2-way Riri Vizlon zip with poppered stormflap
➡ 2 x waterproof high capacity side pockets – easily ventable with unique 2-way Riri waterproof aqua zips
➡ 2 x chest pockets
➡ Adjustable velcro cuffs
➡ High-mobility extended drip skirt
➡ Weight 600gms
➡ All made here in the UK to the highest standards.
I’ve tried a fair few jackets on since having this one but they’ve left me underwhelmed.
I’m not looking for a waterproof shell but something softer (not a softshell) that is light, waterpoof and breathable.
I can wear this in deepest winter with just a mid layer and its warm enough yet I can wear it in the summer on colder nights etc….
