In reply to all:
Thanks all, greatly appreciated.
Montane sizing and I just don't seem to get on. Their medium is a smidge too small and their large is just a little to big.
Chances are I'd have to buy it online as there's not that many stockists in Ireland.
The pulsar looks and sounds the ticket thus far.
Rab seem to have got a bit of a bashing on quality issues in the past months on these forums.
Decisions decisions...
Thanks once more the input is greatly appreciated!
