    Hi Geoff, I did consider very briefly the bike gear and also had a good look at some sailing jackets but both are considerably bulkier than I wanted. I need something I can roll up tightly and put in my work rucksack. Unfortunately I have a budget and whilst paying $400 might get me what I'd truly like, I just can't justify it.
    cheers Gerald

    Thanks for the advice Andre but I've just got hold of a Gondwana jacket that claims the following:
    Material: Durable ripstop construction, micro porous laminate
    Waterproof rating: 10,000 mm
    Breathability rating: 8,000 mnp
    Core venting: No
    Pockets: 2
    Seam sealed: DWR finish
    Hood: Yes
    Zip in compatibility: No
    Weight: 714 g
    Primary activity(s): Winter recreational activities
    Warranty: 3 years
    $140 down from $199 - hopefully it'll be as good as yours as for some reason I wanted something I could standing in the pouring rain and stay dry. gotta get the duds yet.

    cheers Gerald

    I'd be surprised if their gear is "made" in Australia. Most of the big players gear is made in vietnam and China these days and that is not a slight on the quality. Paddy Pallin dont make anything anymore I believe!!

    I was listening to the two Murrays on 2UE today and the claim was made that Audi's main factory is now based in China, so what hope would we have that raincoats, etc are being made outside of China?
