My old (2009) blue Rab VR jacket is finally giving up. Its been patched 3 times and is going to be retired for mucky garden and DIY duties... I really love this jacket and have worn it for UK climbing, in the alps, Scottish winter, winter running and biking and just for sitting outside on summer evenings. I love the fact it's so good for so many different things.
I'm tempted to buy another VR jacket but to my horror there appears to be a variety of options. I was wondering if those of you in the know/have had both jackets would be able to tell me - is the VR summit the most similar to the old jackets? Or should I forget about VR as in the many years since something else has come along that is as versatile and breathable yet windproof.
Thanks in advance!
