Six quid? Blimey, money to burn. I just bought one of these, tacked on to the side of an order (plug for Blacks - always worth a perusal of their sales listings, and if they're having a 15% off promotion, they'll apply that on top). So I think it was 4.25 with free delivery.
The problem down here (Cornwall) is that it's very mild, wet and with high humidity, so breathable fabrics are a dead bust. I mainly use a Decathlon jacket with HUGE pitzips, but I figured something like this might fit the bill even better for general knocking about.
But not today. It's howling out there - a poncho would probably just turn me into a giant meat kite.
