The North Face Mountain Light Parka

Rating: rated 5 of 5 stars
Fabric: 2ply Goretex (Supplex and Taslan)
Price Paid: 200ukp

Fantastic jacket. From summer bimbling in Cornwall to snowy expeditions in the Pyrenees this jacket just keeps going. Very light, comfortable, packs down to nothing, hard wearing (apart from one velcro cuff closure which has come away a little) and totally waterproof.

The main complaint other people have come up with seems to be that the DWR doesn't work very well -- just wash the jacket in pure soap flakes, make sure you tumble dry it, and the DWR performs just as it should. Another common complaint I've seen is that it is too expensive. However, check out the prices of its competitors - it was easily the best featured jacket I could find for the price, and the choice to buy it over other jackets was right.
