I use a Barbour 3/4 length .

The only problem is it's quite heavy.It also has an optinal snap in liner in a fleece like material.

Your Goretex is much lighter.Also no doubt easier to pack down. But noisy.Although they are getting softer these days. There are many pro's and cons to Goretex. But look after it and, it will last.

Nice pic as usual Graham.
All the best....David
