Hi , I have got the hint and it seems the lady in my life would like a rain jacket for her birthday. Who says romance is dead?
Hardshell I guess...
any recommendations? not too spendy, 150 max i reckon, thanks!
Alpkit?

Probably best value decent quality kit out there.
Not quite what you are after. But this looks great from a new made in the UK brand.
I am really picky about my kit - decent quality, no womanly print, good fit and tend to find Mountain Equipment and Berghaus tick those boxes. However, I tend to pick up the best jacket I can find in a sale, so specific model not much help. Had a look at those Alpkit jackets in the Peaks store the other week and they looked nice.
cheers will try alpit. need a new sleeping mat so could be handy
I just got a Rab Kinetic ( https://rab.equipment/uk/womens/waterproof/kinetic-plus-jacket-wmns)- yet to prove the waterproof claims but it feels amazing.Hood is very funky - might actually be the first hood I’ve ever come across that works.
Was on discount at Cotswolds - think I paid £135

With my wife, its colour first and then the rest - I usually go online, line up a row of options and she choses the one she likes best. Last one was a Berghaus GoreTex on Sportspursuit for £100.
I just bought a new montane jacket off e bay. Rrp £300, selling for £90 ish. Not tested yet mind...
Personally I wouldn't consider buying my wife a rain jacket - she needs to try it on to see fit, etc
Colour comes a long way down the list for her
ta but I think I would be a dead man if I bought her that colour
The cop on The Loch (Laura Fraser) has this one I think:

Looks nice - at least on her it does 🙂
also called rut 😛
I just got a Rab Kinetic
Does look very nice, tried one on but can't really justify another jacket (already have 5 GTX shells).
