Anyone have one of these?
Know if it's any good? Would be thinking for walking / running in cold and wet............ so most of the time really!

mate they are awesome for the hills - Had one for over 10 years in the mob before it gave out so well made also. A no no for running unless your off to the arctic as they are seriously warm. Perfect for winter days up in the hills best worn with nothing underneath. Pertex and pile is an excellent combination

Amazing bit of kit. In fact that reminds me, my thieving brother has still got mine. Ive had it for 10 years + and was well worth the investment. You can vent off massively with the sidezips but not really suitable for running on. Perfect for postrun if you're outside for a bit though

Yes mate, staple bit of kit for anyone outdoorsy!

Believe it or not, best worn with nothing underneath (ie, next to the skin), Great when your moving but if your going to stop for a while you can get fairly chilly. If you can, you really want one with a variety of zips/venting options.

Your welcome to try mine before buying one.
