Haglofs Rubus GTX Jacket

The Rubus Jacket uses a reliable 2 layer Gore-Tex fabric to provide really good levels of waterproofing and decent breathability that's great for keeping the elements out. 

Haglofs says:

A versatile shell jacket, made from 2-layer GORE-TEX material. Designed with a slightly longer fit, for better protection while you’re active. Equipped with three pockets (including a zippered chest pocket for valuables), and fully adjustable. It’s breathable, and offers great protection from the elements: and it’ll take you outdoors and get your pulse racing, even in bad weather and harsh conditions.

Haglofs' Rubus GTX Jacket combines the classic hill walking style and adds modern materials and practical features to create a good jacket for general use. The inclusion of 2 layer Gore-Tex fabric adds reliable waterproofing and decent breathability to highly durable 75D material.

This is a very functional waterproof jacket wit a long length and a boxy fit, so it can be used with plenty of insulating layers underneath. It has deep front pockets under press-studded flaps and a zipped chest pocket for carrying essentials. The highly water resistant full length zip and a highly adjustable hood make this a sturdy piece for inclement weather. It is not particularly light, so I’d say it’s one to wear and not to carry. The stylish embroidered logo on the chest pocket and subtle black Gore-Tex logo on the arm are like a stamp of approval!
