After suffering from leaky jackets over the last couple of winters - it's time to upgrade.
Never had a Gore-Tex jacket. Is it worth the expense in the UK to buy one? The jacket would be used for commuting, dog walking and general day/day use. I'm not a hiker etc.
I see on the high street Craghoppers & Mountain Warehouse, as examples, market their own waterproof & breathable alternatives. My brother swears by the Berghaus Cornice.
There seem to be a number of articles online both for and against Gore-Tex. Some feeling it is simply a marketing gimmick. I have no idea.
Thanks, Richard
