Thanks snowb, I normally am right :mrgreen:

I'm looking for a windproof mid layer thought I might try them

Need - is what you tell your wife/husband.
Want - just as it sounds.

We all know you can get some good kit at bargain prices and can spend a shed load more on something which is no better.

If you can afford it buy the clothing you like.

OK this may not be the perfect comparison but we all know Asda's £4 jeans are just as good as a £75 pair and if we are probably kidding ourselves to justify a nicer cut or designer label.

Ski clothing has a few more factors to consider like bulk & breathability but once you've reached that threshold buy the kit you like assuming you can afford it. Not all the expensive kit is high quality - too much of the price going on marketing and expensive retail outlets.

so hard to find, I'm looking for a insulting outer layer and a waterproof base layer and I just can't find them anywhere, I bet they're all on the same rack somewhere :D
