In reply to TobyA: Are the zips on Simond gear better than on Decathlon? I got a Quechua waterproof for £40 which was reduced from £70, and after approx a year of pretty heavy use, the main zip doesn't work anymore and the side pocket zips don't either.
It's put me right off Decathlon/Quechua gear, as the zips on some £40 waterproof trousers didn't stay fully functional for long either, about a month or 2.
They're not a patch on Rab or Mountain Equipment I think , in my experience at least.
