Now we are approaching winter and given that I am now running in Wales (!), has anyone got some recommendations for waterproof lightweight running jacket?
Most of those I’ve seen so far don’t appear to be 100% waterproof (they call them ‘Shower proof’). Then again, would 100% waterproof be too sweaty?
Any thoughts? I know that this should strictly speaking be in the ‘gear’ forum but I don’t get enough time for this one let alone trying to cope with keeping track with another!
Thanks.

Don't be so nesh. Your skin is waterproof, what else do you need. Running in Wales is all about the pleasures of rain in all it's forms from light floaty misty stuff to the sideways makes you cry in pain type. My favourite is the stuff that bounces so that it gets you on the way up if it misses you on the way down.
My God, you are right! What a softy I have become! I’ll have to change all that now I guess or I’ll never be accepted in this wondrous new land I’m in.
It’s skins for me from now on!
By the way, who's coat's that jacket?
And you Bear?

Sorry about the spelling dydy Gymreag ddim yn iauth gyntaf fi!
Wow, you could have joined me at the Margam 6XC yesterday!
It was wonderful, and no need for w/proofs.
Did the Tough Ten in Weston earlier this year and got a taste for running around the countryside.

There's a killer hill in it with a very muddy descent ropes between the trees as hand rails. What's more you get to do it twice and start and finish on the beach!
What larks!
SimonF, you was too soft enough by far.
So long as I don't let myself cool down too much during a run, I never have problems with catching a chill.
