In reply to UKC Gear: Cheers, that's a pretty informative review, but how does it compare to the Flak Jacket? Looking at Crux's website,
http://www.crux.uk.com/en/crux_clothing_shell.php, it seems to suggest that the Flak Jacket is more suited to winter use, and the Torq for "Summer Alpine" use.
I'm after one of their jackets, for year round use, including winter climbing, and can't work out whether the heavier weight, yet cheaper (by £80) Flak Jacket would be more up for the job.
Any suggestions?
