In reply to 1philjones1:
I have had a Shivling for a few years now and it's been a brilliant jacket in biff weather. I mainly use it for hillwalking (last winter was a bit poo for climbing and when I've climbed in Norway I use a softshell)
In a totally non scientific test, I reckon the goretex pro feels much more breathable than traditional goretex (IIRC Gore claim 30% more).
My concern for winter is the 40dernier fabric but I've yet to rip it.
I'd buy one again tbh.
