I've got a packaway jacket and trousers from Military 1st, can't remember the brand. Packed down to very little and has saved me a few times in surprise showers. Packs away nicely in the bottom of my barrow

Is the nash pack away you speak of, the one with the fish on the lower back? Thats what i have that i leave in the barrow. Didnt realise it was a pack away though, i generally just scrunch it up small and chuck it in the bag. Great jacket though that

ive recently bought a light weight rain jacket from a company called SmartCarp. I like it, Im a big guy and the larger sizes are what drove me to buy it. Comes with a stash sack, ive tied it on the front of the barrow for when its needed. Good quality as well.

This.

F12 is a great jacket, easily a match for my more expensive Berghaus and Rab jackets I use for hiking

Good find yet again Gerry. Couldn't leave that on the shelf at that price
How do you find all these deals? Do you use some sort of App? Or are you just pretty tenacious at searching out a bargain..

its just a hobby Im addicted too
I love researching products and reviews and then when I have worked out the best options I then search for the best way to buy it being retired now and semi housebound and my ongoing 2 years of chemotherapy gives me 3 nights a week of insomnia and its a time killer for me
and I love helping people get a bargain and not waste their had earned cash

edit I see COTSWOLD still selling them at £110 not £44.99

Fair Play Gerry. No doubt you've saved many a person on here a few quid. Sorry to hear about your illness. Keep battling on.

Another for OG sensible price for clothing with a trusted hiking/outdoors pedigree,unlike the offerings by many angling branded bits. Looks a nice green too.
