After my experience at Edale Skyline today, I have realised that my Peter Storm waterproof jacket is not up to the job. To be fair, it is a good jacket for what it is: it has taped seams and an integral hood. The trouble is the hood either blows off or else flaps in my face intolerably.

So, can anyone recommend a good waterproof jacket for fell running?
It needs to have:
-- taped seams
-- an integral hood with wire shaper to fit snugly over the head
-- not too many grams

I realise that I will have to spend a few bob, but have reconciled myself to breaking one of my core principles in this case

I use the Inov8 StormShell Matt, as do a few of the others. Seems to fit the bill. See it here but you might want to shop around to see if you can get a better price.

Sizes are a bit on the small size so best go up one from your usual fit.

Thanks Brian, this looks just the ticket!

hi matt..the jacket brian mac mentioned is the one im about to buy..elite stormshell hz ..its around 150gr..its about £150 i think..you would prob get one cheaper at an event that pete bland sports are at..maybe anniv waltz if you at that race..the jacket has great reviews in trail runner mag..ideal for race kit check and great for wet and windy fell training.

I've just ordered one from Pete Bland, online price £120 with free postage.
No more cold windy days for me, just sunshine and larks on the wing
