Anyone know any good websites for lightweight waterproof jackets? anyone ever had a mountain hardwear one? thanks

Root around in TK Maxx if you can be bothered... well good deals there to be had.

Rock and Run / Needle Sports / Gear Zone

Mountain Hardware ones are good! I've one myself. Good value for money and they do the job just as well as any fancy Arcteryx or North Face... My Jacket's a XL [I'm normally a Medium] so I can actually fit my down jacket beneath it, useful, but baggy when not wearing my downie, I wish I'd gotten a tighter fitting one, its like wearing a tent!

BTW, Keep clear of HyVent - really doesn't work, guys in a north face shop also confirmed it! clearly not selling their gear properly. If your after an active fitting one, the Mountain Equipment Changabang is a good one (just get it for it's name! lol)

The general consensus is that eVent is more breathable than Gore, so the RAB Latok or Momentums are also good; their 'Slipstream' Jacket is only 295g!

And Ditto Rosie's statement, they have a rare collection of 'cheap' Marmot gear at TK Max which is good if you can find one of the elusive jackets.
