Any question answered...

Cheers. I'll check them out. When you say weird sizing you you mean you have to size up/down, or something else?

I'm fairly stocky so if it's skinny Euro style then it probably wouldn't work.
Check out a Rohan shop, most of their stuff is really pricy, but this strikes me as good value. http://www.rohan.co.uk/mens-travel-and-outdoor-waterproofs-Atlas-Jacket?ocode=03556B91
I have one of the elite jackets, and it is astonishingly light, I never thought it would last after two years it still looks like new. It folds away into a tiny package, and weighs less than a smart shirt. A bit more money though.
