As much as i'd love a Northface or similar, theres no way I can blow £270 on a jacket for strolls in the woods and very occasional hill walks. Any suggestions of something light, packable and cheap? Hood required, removable a bonus as I could wear the jacket on the bike sometimes too.

Shame Alpkit dont do waterproofs!

Montane make good stuff, which can often be found heavily discounted online.

Or Paramo Fuera - £50 ish. Paramo stuff is very well made.

I would be tempted to spend just a little more (around the £100) mark and get a Gore-Tex Paclite jacket.

its worth waiting and shopping around though. Go outdoors were doing a Berghaus Paclite not long back for £50, and another site http://www.additionsdirect.co.uk/ were doing them for I think it was about £40!! The same site until earlier this week had that RG1 jacket for £20.
