I do rate the Northface Hyperair very highly though. Incredibly light, breathable and waterproof. No features whatsoever though.
It has taken second place to my Montbell Versalite this year though. Pockets and an adjustable hood are necessary additions on a rain jacket as far as I’m concerned.

Lamont, does your 'vale' mean the COEF has been discontinued? Availability is hit and miss at the moment, almost looks like they're running out existing stock.

How is it?? I tried to find one, very little around and have to come from overseas. I emailed Columbia and they pretty much said 'we don't stock them in Australia' with no other reason given. I'd have been happy with either but trying something on is a big plus.slparker wrote:if I didn't already have a Columbia outdry jacket I'd get one.
