Hello all

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)?

Proberbly the Alta jacket as it looks more general purpose.

Drenec for sure - so much more exciting to have a pullover which puts the hood on your head by default when you don the anorak!

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.

You need those items up there! lol lol

Drenec for sure and in case your worried, that style on the high st is very ‘on trend’ at the mo x

Update

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.
