This jacket replaces my old Keela Munro.
It's significantly lighter than the old model.
It's warmer than most shell jackets so not ideal for summer use.
Very protective, totally waterproof, breathability I think is better than goretex in real world Scottish conditions.
Proper mountain hood, pit zips.
No longer made in Scotland, but seems well built.
Olive is a kind of grey-green that is good for wildlife watching without looking too military. Fabric is quieter than most mountain jackets, but not as quiet as peached hunting jackets. Th colour is much better than the old 'Covert' colour which was abit light.
Sizing wise I went for the M, I'm 178cm and 80kg and it's pretty spot on. Plenty of room for a fleece, and just enough room for a belay jacket instead of the fleece.
It's longer than the current trend for very short jackets, but nor is it a full thigh length.

As a three season jacket for Scottish weather I think it is the best available at any price.

Sara Wheeler visited Antarctica under the Writers and Artists program. She travelled extensively and visited the staions of many countries.
This book strikes me as being astonishingly perceptive. She appreciates subtle and less-subtle differences between the nationalities (I'm afraid that the laddish atmosphere of the British base was somewhat unwelcoming). She points out that the real reason for all of these countries maintaining an antarctic presence is more political than scientific.
This book is a rare blend of the spiritual and the scientific. Wild lonely places often evoke a feeling of closeness to God and although many authors have written about this, Ms Wheeler in addition furnishes us with explanations on katabatic winds.
There are tangible connections between her journey and those of the early explorers.....
Lots of little things ring true; she does not display her antarctic mementoes because, off the ice, no-one will understand. I can well believe it. Try telling someone you would like to visit Antarctica and watch their reaction......
Great book. Better travel writing than Theroux, and that's high praise. Buy it.
