I appear to lost the Sprayway waterproof I've had for years - have no idea how.

It was a 3/4 length single thickness lightweight (with hood) with zip and velcro fastening and taped seams. Very windproof and waterproof. Could be screwed up and stuffed in your briefcase or whatever

So I need a new mac - what do all you energetic PHers reckon is best? Price not an issue within reason.

I've got a North Face one - breathable, lightweight, doesn't make me look like a trainspotter! wink

Sorry... on a more constructive note...

I was very impressed by the North Face I owned a few years ago; the current range seem very similar. Otherwise Patagonia (if you can find last season stock as they are substantially cheaper) are pretty good in my experience - certainly well made and good repair service.

I bought one of these (Musto) as a shore jacket and have been very impressed with it; £40 from Bicester Village.

I've also got a Paramo smock which is an amazing piece of technical clothing. Packs fairly small, surprisingly small and amazingly breathable but not cheap.

+1 on the Musto jackets ,they do the job a treat with the added bonus of hardly anyone knowing about them.

Got a 2006 MacBook which I love. Would definitely get another.

Waiting for the new Mac Mini specs to be launched to replace my PC desktop.

Yes. Tend to use most when travelling,
very light, folds up into one of its own pockets, dries quickly.

I quite rate Rohan gear in general
