****, I must be a right homeless barstard - £200+ for a friggin' coat :O

I thought the ones at Matalan for about £50 were pricey

Some people have too much money...

I'm not sure North Face is Chav attire! It's not like it's Superdry!

Canada Goose isn't bad for a coat. You can get a a bomber jacket like thing, and various parkers, including the expedition and snow mantra. It's every so slightly overkill for walking form the car to the shopping centre when it's just a bit chilly, but when you're in -18 plus windchill, so about -30, and clearing silly amounts of snow from the driveway, it's not half bad

For a fleece, I've got a windriver one, think it's a Mark's Work Wearhouse own brand thing. It's not at all fashionable but does keep you rather warm. I've got a couple of CK fleeces and they aren't too bad either, only got them as they were on sale as silly prices, $17 vs the usual $88.

I don't think it's about that. If you spend a lot of time outdoors and you want to by warm, dry and not sweat like a pig. Too hot....remove a light weight layer.

My gore-tex shell is one of the best bits of clothing I have ever bought. When ever I go on holiday it's one of the 1st things I pack.

I'm sure you've spent money on a 'record player' that I would think silly.....

Doubt it. Most stuff I have ever bought like that has been on offer or second hand. Remembering I'm poor compared to your types

Rab is the only one for me IMO, in the Army so have to go out in the cold regular, Outer layer has to be RAB, however cannot beat a nice BUFFALO shirt for under clothing.

Guys here wear nothing but black North face jackets and have the big North face bags, all think they are in the SAS, C*nts.

LOL. My jacket was bought from Tesco.

Think its time to go against the grain here

davyboy

I don't think the tesco or matalan coat would keep me very dry.

A 30% off voucher for a £169 Goretex shell, job done!

Glad I could be of assistance.

Hi Clarebabes - I tried that code just now and it doesn't appear to work now
Don't suppose you have another do you ?

Clarebabes

Think it only worked til yesterday, sorry. Doubt they'll be doing another one.

You could try Go Outdoors if you have one near you, they do discounted stuff.

I thought only people with designer glasses, you know the ones that blatently point out the designer brand on the leg could wear North Face?
