Can anyone recommend a lightweight waterproof jacket with plenty of pockets please?

My old Regatta one is looking rather weathered now!

Cheers All

I might be able to help here... Please do not think that I am some sort of expert (I'm not by any stretch)... I just have previous experience of this happening regarding our website.

Duggs, Apps.... Start again... But instead of following a link.... Please type the address of the website manually into your web browser. DO NOT FOLLOW A LINK.

You will find that the website you are trying to purchase from, should now function completely as normal. It has nothing to do with the website, it is all about the link you followed.

The links on social media get easily corrupted by hackers etc I'm told. This then stores a cookie on your machine... No one ever clears history & cookies anymore. You should find by doing what I just said, it solves your problem.

Let me know on here if that works.

I did say I was no expert

That little trick has worked many a time, for customers of mine having trouble with our website after following an old link from Faceache.

I've had it myself, after following a link for certain websites... Then the website I am trying to buy from will not work properly. Our web support told us it is just corrupted social media links.

If it's just that it will not work on your mobile, the most likely explantation is they have not paid to have their website optimised for mobile use (a bit crazy nowadays). Try from a PC mate and it will likely work.

I got a large and it's not too big, ok for summer showers but not roomy enough to wear anything bulky underneath. Maybe I'm just too fat.( probably).

They do that one in green Gerry... I purchased one in navy last night for walking the dog. Few quid more £42... But cotton lined. The others are slightly more breathable as they are a shell.

Nice one mate.

Duggs I had the same problem as you on my Mac last night... Their website cart is **** there is something wrong with it.

When adding an item to your basket... You basically have to wait five minutes for it to actually add it. In the first five minutes I ended up adding four jackets, that suddenly all appeared in my basket long after I had given up

Stupid poxy website. Add your item to your basket mate... Then wait for ages. It does work eventually.

Yeah that's cool for me mate I saw, it's a parka type. Just a different cut of the same jacket with a lining.

As I said it's only for walking the dog this winter. You tend to look like a serial killer or terrorist in London late at night with a camo coat on

I bought the Craghoppers Mens Ashland Waterproof Jacket in olive and got it for £30.40 delivered with a code about 3 weeks ago but the offer disappeared in 2 days its a longer coat outstanding quality

craghopper trousers take some beating especially when on offer

if your after a WARM coat for dog walking in cold weather etc Regatta Men's Sterlings Ii
Waterproof Taped Seams Insulated Internal Security Pocket Hooded Jacket Jacket Breathable waterproof

these take some beating having a Sherpa lining LINKY POO

These jackets are heavily discounted. Is the quality enough to ask the original price..??

The reason i ask is the likes of sports direct heavily inflate there price then offer a huge discount. When you look at or buy the item you no the quality wasnt there to ask the original price in the first place. So what is getting at is you generally get what you pay for.

NOT Gore=Tex top jackets in the top 11
Fjallraven Keb Eco-Shell (RRP £450)
Patagonia Torrentshell 3L (RRP £160)
Snowpeak Wanderlust 2.5L (RRP £450)
Paramo Velez Adventure Smock (RRP £245)
Salewa Sella PTX Responsive (RRP £360)
Columbia OutDry Ex Reign (RRP £155)

What's the sizing like for Craghopper. Does it differ from garment to garment or are they generally smaller, larger or spot on as expected?

I have a winter jacket I got for £80 discounted from rrp £200 I think it was called a correspondent jacket. Not sure. However I can't wear it unless the temp is near freezing it has a removable fleece liner and is waterproof to 20000mm head. I've worn it on a clifftop in a snowstorm with the wind blowing off the sea and snow coming sideways in my face. Totally waterproof and windproof and warm. Best buy I've ever had. Bargains can be had with some careful research.

jeez !!!

you and your hang up with Gore-Tex being better when its CLEARY NOT the case ? as good in some cases yes but

the specs of the product are clear for anyone to see the coat and zip is just about as waterproof as you can get as is the breathability so stop being a silly boy ??

if you dont like the coat fine its not every ones cup of tea its not a thorn proof heavy duty gore-Tex granted but its not meant for that

but to come out with I expected Gore-Tex for that price I have proved to you your talking out your bum

my last on the subject

Generally fit as they say I.e. a large fits me from most companies. However check what they say about the fit. A tailored fit will be more figure hugging than a relaxed or comfort fit. I have to have a comfort fit as I'm not the snake hipped lothario I once was.😄.

Wtf are you on about

Someone asked if it was worth the £120 rrp, or was that a sportsworld type inflated rrp to look like a discount, and it's clearly the latter

I give those specs about as much credence as a random best ten jackets on tinternet article

The specs for the titanic looked good, but that took on water.
Goretex and whatever comparable material companies put on those £3/4/500 top 10's is infinitely better than polyester or whatever this thing is. It's an entry level jacket priced below their own goretex range, they're telling you themselves it's inferior.
For static fishing I'm not sure you can beat just having 1 or 2 ponchos with you and layering up underneath, preferably a goretex©️™️®️ poncho too... they're the best ones
