I've been interested in Guy Cotten Drenec jacket for a while and thinking if I should buy one, but I keep thinking if it looks too heavy for a "casual" use. Does anyone here have any experience in this jacket?
My second option is the Alta jacket
Also, I would buy the Pouldo trousers to match the jacket which ever I would end up with
What do you guys think which jacket would be more suitable and better looking for casual use (walking in a forest, chores around the house etc)?
I have a Drenec which I've worn on forest walks...
What I like about it is the weight, the fact that it's an anorak, the sleeves and the color, it's the ultimate protective garment.
I think it's completely normal to wear it when it rains, but I also think it would be stupid to judge people for wearing rainwear of any kind if it's keeping them dry while it's raining.
I have the Rosbras jacket and matching bib and brace for on the boat in bad weather, far superior than most other equivalent waterproofs. Not a problem to wear casually if desired and certainly hardwearing. I bought mine about 8 years ago and it is still in excellent condition.

The drenec came in today and I have to say its quite not what I expected. The version that I bought was the nylpeche version which is even heavier than the one in the picture. The stor I ordered it from did not specify it. Also the sizing is even more spacious than I thought. Still, not bad. Luckily I have few days to think if I'm gonna keep this or not.
