Winter Clothing

I use a north face "venture" jacket with massive pit zips - from ribs to elbow. Special fabric doesn't get clammy, two pockets, extra long sleeves, proper waterproof. Open the vents in Autumn to expel vapour, close them in Winter, layer with a l/s jersey and it's good down to freezing point. It lives in my commuting backpack year round.

I like Altura night vision trousers, mainly because the length is adjustable so they fit my stubby legs without tailoring.

May I ask if you have worn this jacket in a prolonged heavy down pour ? and if so how did it hold up ?
