Thanks for all your advice. I've been having a look at the John Norris website, and I'm tempted by the Seeland Keeper's or Woodcock jackets. Has anyone got these, and how do you rate them? Incidentally, I used my Barbour Border jacket last Saturday (my first days' beating of the season), and it poured down! The jacket, although recently re-proofed, became stiff as a board, and it isn't all that waterproof...hence my quest for a more suitable garment.
