Just went out wearing it, probably wouldn’t have if it weren’t still on the back of the sofa from the picture yesterday, but it was there so I grabbed it.

Was nice to begin with, but once I’d warmed up it was too much.

All round very sweaty, and it wasn’t really raining that much so I needn’t have bothered.

But I’ve not found a jacket that I can’t out-sweat with even just a small amount of effort, and this was a pretty small amount of effort (though it felt pretty hard!)

Cheers mate, very similar to my experience today but my coat was the heavy one. I don’t think any of them breather as well as they claim, so the best thing for this time of year is going for lighter.

And in some quirk of foreshadowing fate, the pocket in my Kamlieka failed yesterday. I rarely use them on this coat, so it might have failed before yesterday and they are the welded seam type but still a bit annoying. These coats are not cheap.

Sandstone Trail Ultra on Sunday

Taking it as easy long run - longest of the year so far and a good test for what sort of shape I am in

Hoping it is not a complete mud fest after the rain this week
