Hi folks,
I'm looking to get a windproof jacket for summer use. Priorities would be:
- as cool and breathable as possible, including vents/front zips
- a pocket (or two) for map/compass/etc which is/are located at chest height: I tend to climb with hip belt on
- a hood would be an added bonus but not strictly necessary
I'm 6'2" and would be using it for a mixture of hillwalking, scrambling and climbing (and I sweat a lot!) Wouldn't quite say money no object, but am prepared to fork out for something good that's going to last a long time.
Any advice much appreciated!
Cheers,
Adam
