[#6881605]

After a few years faithful service I managed to get the zipper on my jacket caught between the bar and shifter on a climb and wanged it off.

Now need a new one. Been looking through some of the posts on the forum but a lot seem to focus on proper winter jackets, where as I like to go for something not so full on to use all year round and layering up where needed - any suggestions? I'm looking at spending £80-150 and is replacing an Endura Convert.

Househusband - it's battered - been thinking it needs replacing for a few months

Thought I'd suggest that as you sound so fond of it!

BTW There's a load of Rab jackets on [url= http://www.sportpursuit.com/sales/rab-feb ]SportPursuit[/url] at the moment, further to walla24's suggestion. Not the Spark but several others.

Theres a place in the lower High street that replaces zips etc might be worth a try and get a new one as well so you have two for didn't weather conditions 😀

I like SportPursuit...

Might get the zip replaced like you say. Some of the jackets look a bit full on winter.
