I'm trying to decide between the two jackets. Has any users of either got any opinions?
Thanks

In reply to speedysi: have a latok alpine - light and tough and does all I want. Wore it during our damp and cold winter and did fine. Not sure how it would hold up in a Scots winter situation though some state it will be okay. Snow permitting I intend to find out end of year

Similar simple jackets but the crux is much tougher. The face fabric is Taslan which is what a lot of people use on their wear patches so it'll stand up to a bit more abuse.

I have a Crux, can't fault it. Bombproof construction and nice and simple. Also looked at the Rab, opted for the Crux due to it being that bit more robust looking, and rarer (got one of the pre production ones R&R were were selling)at the time. Still don't see many of them on the hill, which is odd as they are great winter climbing jackets.
