This is my 6th Berghaus jacket i have purchased over the years, my first one (which i still have) was the red Mera Peak from the late 90's and thats what ive compared my other berghaus's to. This one is alot lighter in weight but does everything the Mera Peak one did, i first bought this jacket in the grey and after a couple of weeks i ordered another ine in the light blue. I would reccomend this jacket for everyday use and great up here in scotland where it rains 80% of the time
