Is gortex still a thing? I thought the patents ran out years ago and anyone can make their own?

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
