Clothing trend survey
I was wondering what sort of outdoor jacket most people reach for when they are popping out anyplace, or EDCing etc, IE you get a call from work, wife, mum, GF, colleague, etc or you decide you have to go someplace right away, what is the jacket you grab by choice?

RE: Clothing trend survey
I'd grab my goretex jacket
Use it all the time so it will always have the right liner in it for the season

RE: Clothing trend survey
Its not a thing I have often thought about, but I voted for the ex mil spec cotton jacket/smock,.. not fully waterpoof I know, but I will often put a more waterproof [ lighter ] item under the smock,.. this then keeps me dry,.. they are warm,..and they dont made a noise when rubbed against things.
There may well be better options, but its also what I have to hand

Bugger, i just realised I forgot Ventile, but I suppose with it being horrendously expensive none of us would probably use it !!

RE: Clothing trend survey
Paramo is also not on the list, which is my jacket of choice.
Actually, if I'm just nipping out for a pint of milk or something, I'll grab the Paramo, which is also my hillwalking jacket. If I'm going to the woodland, I'll wear a flannel shirt over a cotton teeshirt, and either a sleeveless insulated bodywarmer if it's dry, or a wax cotton jacket if wet/windy.
Find a resilient place and way to live, then sit back and watch a momentous period in history unfold.

Swedish wool poachers jacket. Keeps the wind out and the water off, also looks very smart.

£20 on that site, I bought mine last winter for £12 from a different site that does not have them in stock any longer.

I grab my black BladeRunner hoodie.
Since Kevlar lined wasn't an option, I thought I'd have to click Other.

Some people that prefer to be alone arent anti-social they just have no time for drama, stupidity and false people.

RE: Clothing trend survey
thick wool military style coat, very warm and toasty, but not waterproof  if it's raining I'll wear a Gortex smock style jacket, but I prefer the Wool jacket as it is warmer in my opinion and windproof because of the thickness
