A New Jacket! Berghaus Attrition II

So I've been out this morning to get a new waterproof to keep me dry on the hills later this month.  I ended up getting the Berghaus Attrition II at my local Berghaus outlet store at Dalton Park.  This looks like a fantastic jacket and although I was uneasy about the color at first I think it's growing on me.

At an rrp of £300 I grabbed a bargain getting it for £150, which for me is still a lot of money but hopefully a solid investment.

The jacket sports a Gore-tex pro shell fabric which is claimed to be extremely waterproof and tough.  I'm sure I'll put it through its paces throughout this year and beyond.

Features I love are the highly adjustable hood which will take a helmet and it's integrated face mask.  Pit zips for ventilation when I'm running a bit hot which I do tend to do, and the numerous pockets to hold maps, compass, snacks and a mesh water bottle holder to keep water close to your body in freezing conditions.

Stay tuned for pics of it in use hopefully later this month.
