Packlite Jackets

Q. I am considering buying one of the Packlite Jackets for walking in the summer. Does anyone have comments on them?

Jean Richards, Lytham St. Annes

A. Bought a Berghaus Paclite from the web. tested it out in appalling weather last Saturday ( 1st November - North Downs Kent). Kept rain out but jacket not fully breathable as membrane soaked in sweat. Apparently this can be quite common but somewhat defeats the object of having "a breathable jacket." Chris
