[#12138028]

Since getting dragged in by the last Montane PSA and buying something full of regret, I noticed they had a Helly Hansen jacket that I really liked the look of - and the massive discount seemed to be relatively legit. But no sizes in stock whenever I kept checking, apart from XXL.

But tonight when I've just got in and had a peek (driving, not drinking, promise) - they've a low stock of Medium sized!

So I've bought one with no idea whether it's any good, so apologies if you buy one off the back of this and it is actually crap. Cheap returns though 🙂

For £200 I would be wanting a waterproof membrane I had heard of to be honest.

Keep an eye on eBay.

I had a HellyTech jacket back in the '90s, they have developed it since and have quite the pedigree for making rather decent kit, albeit in water and winter sports.

So you bought something from Montane (presumably because it seemed a bargain) which you now regret - but you're now recommending another purchase of something you've not tried. 🤦‍♂️

Paired with a totally inappropriate username! 🤣

If you’re looking for proper winter gear then it’s worth calling in TK Maxx. In amongst all the ubiquitous Superdry stuff, there’s actually some proper kit

I just bought this GEOX down breathable winter parka For a bargain-tastic 80 quid, while it was still retailing on their website at 300 quid.

And for any bigger boned gentlemen, they've just knocked another £50 off the remaining XXL's!
