I've currently got a Montane Minimus jacket which I use for biking and rough duties and a Rab Spark which I use for everything else, however I've never really liked the cut of the Rab, I much prefer the Montane.
Is there anything as good as the Montane (and similar cut) for £70 or £80?
I'd prefer not to spend another £120ish on another Montane if possible as I have a ton of other kit to buy.
Thanks
I don't know about as good as Montane but I have a Karrimor eVent jacket, Alpiniste I think, which was about that price and I really like it considering how cheap it was. Had it a year and it's still going strong although it hasn't had massive amount of use, that's more a comment on the perceived quality of Karrimor kit nowadays. I also have a soft shell jacket which cost £30 which has had a lot of use for more than two years and is great.
Bump for the workers.
for on or off bike?
I like my Berghaus vapour storm. Im trying to find a cheap s/h one as a second one to keep elsewhere.

It would be for off the bike Stoner. I like my Montane for on bike, and it's too roughed up / dirty to wear in public.

Sorry Lodrik, I'm a small in Montane so doubt an XL, would suit. Ideally I would like something sub £100.
I've just bought a Patagonia Torrentshell that seems to be a nice bit of kit: Decent, adjustable hood, and comfortable to wear.
Picked it up for about £70.
I wouldnt wear my vapour storm on the bike as too nice to risk ripping.
But it's my favourite for mountain walking.
I got a minimus of Amazon for £54 at the weekend, well chuffes. Different sizes were different prices but no more than £80. Ordered it at teatime on Saturday it arrived at teatime on Sunday, I love prime
